With 4,500 construction businesses falling into significant financial distress in Q3 2020, this has served to strengthen the view of owners, funders and investors alike, that any contractor, regardless of age and size, can be at risk of liquidation.
Commercial LDI provides an added and essential element of protection, as it mitigates the risk posed by a contractor’s refusal and/or inability to rectify major defects.
