BTN News: Cridolma Barcelona, known for operating the Dorsia aesthetic surgery clinic, has closed its doors for good. The Commercial Court No. 10 of Barcelona has declared the company bankrupt, leaving the business in tatters. The balance sheet reveals no assets, not even a surgical tool, and the liabilities total €2.2 million. This means that creditors will not see a single cent of their outstanding debts. They now have fifteen days to request the appointment of an insolvency administrator.
Closure of Dorsia Clinic
Cridolma had managed the Dorsia aesthetic surgery and weight loss clinic for eleven years. Located at 535 Diagonal Avenue, next to the L’Illa shopping center, the clinic ceased operations a few weeks ago. Another medical center, Clínicas Doha, now occupies the space. Founded in 2013 by Marta Archs Muñoz, who remained at the helm as the sole administrator until the legal proceedings concluded, Cridolma was declared insolvent last year due to unpaid labor contributions.
With no assets to liquidate, the bankruptcy marks the end of this medical services company. The final nail in the coffin came from unresolved financial issues, which left the company unable to continue its operations or pay off its debts.
More Business Failures
The commercial courts are also handling several other bankruptcy cases, most of which are also terminal failures. Here’s a brief overview of these cases:
- Ability Tramits: A construction company registered on Padua Street, Barcelona, managed by Tomás Otón Sánchez, has declared bankruptcy.
- Industrie Tessili HYD: Located in Sabadell and known for its HYD brand, this company specialized in designing high-quality stockings, tights, and swimwear. Established in the late 1990s by Claudio Gazzoti, its production was outsourced to workshops in Italy. The company is now bankrupt with no remaining assets and a debt of €0.8 million.
- La Clave Escuela del Baile: A dance academy in Mataró, managed by Disnay Herrera Domínguez, has also declared bankruptcy.
- La Punta del Riu: This real estate promotion and construction company, based on Calvet Street in Barcelona, has seen its fortunes decline. Managed by Andrés Martín Chacón since April, after replacing Andrés Martín Cabanés, the company is wholly owned by Strenght, a real estate firm owned by the same business partners. Strenght itself went bankrupt in 2008 and is currently in liquidation.
- Javigo 2017: The manager of the Jardín restaurant in Cornellà de Llobregat, located on Treball Street, is in financial trouble. The administrators are Javier Segura Ortiz de Urbina and Gregorio Antonio Hernández Maza.
- Óptica y Audiología Nou Barris: This optical and audiology clinic on Vía Julia, Barcelona, managed by Ignacio José Arrayas San Leandro, is also facing financial difficulties.
- Tecnic Moving: A moving and storage services company in Abrera, managed by Raquel Cid Martínez, has declared bankruptcy.
- Vantrip Camper: This company in Barberà del Vallès, which deals in the sale and repair of vehicles, is also bankrupt. Laia Comas Ponsà is the current manager, having taken over from Joel Font Martínez in December.
The collapse of Cridolma Barcelona and these other businesses highlights the financial difficulties many companies face. Each story reflects the challenges and uncertainties in the business world, where even well-established companies can suddenly find themselves struggling to stay afloat. As creditors and former employees grapple with the fallout, the broader impact on the local economy remains to be seen.
