Bad Boy Furniture Warehouse Declared Bankrupt After Failing to File Proposal

 

Bad Boy Furniture Warehouse, a Toronto-area furniture retailer, has been declared bankrupt after failing to file a proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. 

The company had filed a notice of intention in November 2023, stating that it aimed to restructure its business. However, it failed to file a cash-flow statement or proposal in time, and is now deemed to have made an assignment. The Ontario court gave Bad Boy permission to begin liquidation sales in November 2023.

The company’s bankruptcy is a significant blow to the furniture industry, and it remains to be seen how it will affect the industry as a whole.
