SIGNALS / CORPORATE DISTRESS
Corporate distress
Asset under strain
A company or asset reading like it is under strain.
Distress shows in the record before it shows on a balance sheet. Requests probing permits, liens, code history, or unpaid obligations around a company or property can read like someone documenting strain — a lender, a counterparty, or a claimant getting ahead of a default.
