15 N.H. businesses file for February bankruptcy

But total number of filings continues on downward slide
Bob Sanders,

The total number of New Hampshire bankruptcy filings dipped below 200 in February for the first time this decade — indeed, the first time since October 2006. That’s the good news.

The bad news: 15 failed businesses contributed to the filings.

Some 197 households and businesses filed for bankruptcy in February, a dozen fewer than January and 18 percent fewer than February 2013 – a trend that has continued, at roughly the same percentage rate, over the past two years.

Only one business filed as a business, but there were 14 individuals who filed with business-related debt. Business-related filings jumped from January, when there were only six such filings. As in past practice, NHBR will list the related businesses, not the individual:
