Abstract:

Bankruptcies in Georgia have been ranked near the top in the country, even among larger and less

economically healthy states. In this exploratory study, responses elicited from Georgia lenders were

examined to explore their perceptions and opinions related to business bankruptcy. Primary data was

collected from a sample 50 Georgia bankers, utilizing one-on-one, in-depth, telephone interview

technique. As a subset of a larger SBA sponsored project, this research attempts to isolate policy issues

and processes influencing the elevated number of small business bankruptcies and future policy

recommendations for bankruptcy prevention. A summary of the findings and the questions are presented.
