Frequently Asked Questions

Insolvency risk in German retail, explained

Why are so many German inventory businesses closing?

Many closures come down to liquidity, not sales — businesses run out of cash because capital is tied up in unsold inventory, costs shift faster than pricing, and forecasts lag weeks behind reality. By the time a cash shortfall is visible in a spreadsheet, it's often too late to react.

What does "capital tied up in inventory" mean?

It's the money spent on stock that hasn't sold yet. The longer it sits, the less cash is available for payroll, suppliers, and other obligations — a common early warning sign before insolvency.

How does finmind provide early warning for liquidity risk?

finmind continuously compares your cash position against inventory, orders, and upcoming obligations across ERP, 3PL, and sales channels, flagging runway problems weeks before they become a crisis.

What is insolvency prevention software?

Insolvency prevention software monitors cash flow, inventory, and liabilities in real time to detect early warning signs of a liquidity crisis, giving business owners time to act instead of reacting after the fact.
