Austria had fewer company insolvencies in early 2026. An insolvency means: A company is broke. It cannot pay its bills anymore. The number of failures fell by 2.6 percent.
A total of 3.401 companies stopped their work. This means 19 companies per day. Often, shops and builders have problems. Restaurants also have many problems. The number of failures rose in restaurants.
The situation varies in the federal states. Tirol and Salzburg have fewer failures. Vorarlberg has more failures. Vienna has the most insolvencies.
Often companies have no money left. Then no official process can start. This is bad for the creditors. Creditors are people or firms who get money.
