A total of <strong>432 businesses filed for protection during the period, <\/strong>including 197 from those two sectors, bringing the nationwide total to <strong>8,478<\/strong>. The figure represents a <strong>21.2%<\/strong> increase from the same quarter of 2025, the <strong>RGF-BIZDOC Monitor <\/strong>showed in data obtained exclusively by Valor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"63\" data-block-id=\"3\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Experts expect the numbers to climb further, partly because companies tend to postpone restructuring decisions ahead of elections. Many business owners prefer to wait for greater political certainty before seeking court protection. This backlog also helps explain why financial distress is increasingly spreading to the commerce sector, typically among the last links in the production chain to feel the effects of a downturn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"28\" data-block-id=\"5\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">By the end of September, <span class=\"highlight\">commerce<\/span> had the largest number of companies under bankruptcy protection, at <strong>1,737,<\/strong> followed by manufacturing (<strong>1,647<\/strong>), agriculture and livestock (<strong>1,416)<\/strong>, and construction <strong>(1,103<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"54\" data-block-id=\"6\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Fabio Bentes, chief economist at the National Confederation of Trade in Goods, Services and Tourism (CNC), attributes the growing number of companies seeking protection largely to the monetary tightening brought about by years of high interest rates. Expensive borrowing raises working capital costs and makes it harder for businesses to meet their financial obligations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"18\" data-block-id=\"7\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">&#8220;Changes in consumer habits, with people increasingly favoring services over goods, are also difficult to reverse,&#8221; Bentes said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"2\" data-block-id=\"8\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\"><strong>Regional disparities<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"33\" data-block-id=\"9\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\"><strong>Mato Grosso<\/strong> stands out as the state with the highest proportion of companies under bankruptcy protection, at one per 1,000 businesses. <strong>Goi\u00e1s<\/strong> follows with 0.61 per 1,000, while <strong>Alagoas <\/strong>ranks third at 0.52.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"53\" data-block-id=\"10\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">In absolute terms, <strong>Paran\u00e1 <\/strong>saw the most new cases during the quarter, with 88 companies entering proceedings, followed by <strong>S\u00e3o Paulo<\/strong> with 55 and <strong>Minas Gerais<\/strong> and <strong>Goi\u00e1s<\/strong> with 52 each. Overall, 21 of Brazil&#8217;s 26 states and the Federal District (Bras\u00edlia) saw an increase in the number of companies under court protection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"19\" data-block-id=\"11\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">For <strong>Claudio Damasceno<\/strong>, a senior partner at consulting firm RGF-BIZDOC, the consequences extend well beyond the companies directly involved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"21\" data-block-id=\"12\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">&#8220;Every company undergoing court-supervised restructuring also means a portfolio of receivables tied up for suppliers, banks and service providers,&#8221; Damasceno said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"22\" data-block-id=\"13\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">The financial difficulties of businesses currently under protection are therefore likely to spread to their creditors, creating further pressure on other companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"34\" data-block-id=\"14\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">The study identifies &#8220;customer defaults&#8221; as the most frequently cited reason for seeking bankruptcy protection, accounting for 55% of cases. &#8220;Declining revenue and demand&#8221; and &#8220;borrowing costs and interest rates&#8221; follow, each representing 16%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"33\" data-block-id=\"16\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">The increase continues to be driven by microenterprises (188), small businesses (137) and medium-sized companies (292). Relative to the total number of businesses operating in Brazil, however, restructuring remains uncommon in these categories.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"34\" data-block-id=\"17\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">The opposite is true for large (63) and very large companies (21). Although relatively few are undergoing restructuring, their share of the total number of businesses in their respective size categories is considerably higher.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"2\" data-block-id=\"18\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\"><strong>Delayed fallout<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"47\" data-block-id=\"19\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\"><strong>Juliana Bumachar,<\/strong> of law firm Bumachar Advogados Associados, sees the figures as evidence that Brazil&#8217;s current restructuring cycle is entering a more mature phase. Large companies have faced significant financial restructuring pressures over the past two years, but the effects typically take time to reach smaller businesses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"51\" data-block-id=\"20\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">&#8220;Every major player has small and medium-sized companies in its supply chain. When a large company needs restructuring, it directly affects those suppliers and customers. That triggers a delayed wave of restructuring among small and medium-sized businesses, and we&#8217;ve been seeing that since the second quarter of this year,&#8221; Bumachar said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"29\" data-block-id=\"21\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Out-of-court restructuring, often presented as a leading alternative to formal bankruptcy protection proceedings, increased only marginally in the third quarter, from 13 to 15 cases, the RGF-BIZDOC Monitor showed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"9\" data-block-id=\"22\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Bumachar said the advantages of this approach are clear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"28\" data-block-id=\"23\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">&#8220;It&#8217;s faster, consensual, cheaper and doesn&#8217;t directly damage the company&#8217;s reputation. The market&#8217;s immediate response is always positive, and prior negotiations with creditors tend to be well received.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"38\" data-block-id=\"24\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">But Damasceno cautioned that the option is not suitable for every company. It generally works better for larger businesses and can serve as a preliminary stage before more extensive restructuring efforts, sometimes followed by formal bankruptcy protection filings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"13\" data-block-id=\"25\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">&#8220;In most cases, the company buys time to renegotiate its debts,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"2\" data-block-id=\"26\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\"><strong>Recovery outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"37\" data-block-id=\"27\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Another finding that caught experts&#8217; attention was the number of companies emerging from bankruptcy protection. During the third quarter, <strong>157 businesses successfully completed the process<\/strong> and remained active, while another 112 had their proceedings converted into bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"22\" data-block-id=\"29\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Since the survey began in March 2023, <strong>19% of companies that sought bankruptcy protection have successfully recovered,<\/strong> a total of 2,085 businesses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"27\" data-block-id=\"30\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">For Damasceno, the figures underscore the importance of seeking court protection before a company&#8217;s financial position has deteriorated beyond repair, giving it a better chance of recovery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"45\" data-block-id=\"31\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Meanwhile, bankruptcy petitions declined from 456 in the second quarter to 306 in the third. <span class=\"highlight\">Commerce <\/span>and manufacturing accounted for 60% of bankrupt companies, the report found. Both sectors rely heavily on working capital, making them particularly vulnerable to supplier credit constraints and weakening demand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"3\" data-block-id=\"32\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\"><strong>Outlook for 2027<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"26\" data-block-id=\"33\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">The outlook for the fourth quarter and 2027 is bleak. Experts expect another rise in bankruptcy protection filings, particularly as financial distress spreads through supply chains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"35\" data-block-id=\"34\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Damasceno pointed to an additional 159 requests for precautionary court measures identified in the report. These have not yet become formal bankruptcy protection cases but are expected to add to the total in coming quarters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"35\" data-block-id=\"35\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">External factors will also shape the outlook for Brazilian businesses. In supply chains exposed to international prices, exchange rates, foreign demand and logistics conditions, the effects of adverse developments tend to emerge with a lag.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"26\" data-block-id=\"36\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Companies first experience cash flow pressures, then seek court protection, and only later appear in Federal Revenue Service records, which form the basis of the survey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"22\" data-block-id=\"37\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Bumachar said one striking feature of companies approaching her law firm is the growing urgency of their requests for help with restructuring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"17\" data-block-id=\"38\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">&#8220;Sometimes the company&#8217;s situation isn&#8217;t even that serious yet, but it&#8217;s urgent and can&#8217;t wait,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"43\" data-block-id=\"39\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">The lawyer believes there is a high probability of another sharp surge in filings in the first quarter of 2027.
