1. Rate of Return (ROI). this refers to the amount of income that the business brings on a given period of time. A decline in ROI is an indication of the business failure.
2. Decline in profits and escalating financial losses. The prime motive of a business is to make profit. A decline in profitability index is an indication of the business failure
3. Increased corporate debt. Growing corporate debts would mean increased business liabilities. Debtors may in turn sue the business due to large debts hence results in the business liquidation.
