When Companies Go Under

Synopsis

Small business bankruptcies are rising sharply across Europe, with significant impacts on local economies. In Stoke-on-Trent, England, the ceramics industry, once a cornerstone of the community, faces decline as pottery producers shut down. In Germany, numerous small enterprises are also closing their doors, leading to job losses and diminished local services. "When Companies Go Under" examines the economic pressures driving these closures and the broader societal implications, highlighting the urgent need for support and reform in the small business sector.
