Not a surprise. I sold my business in Jan 2022 but I still keep in touch with my former business partner who bought me out and he recently told me two of our former clients have filed for bankruptcy in the past 6 months. Both mid size businesses that were expanding really fast during the low interest rate years and took on a ton of debt. Unfortunate.
I am in the midst of it. But running two small businesses without debt won't hurt too much
