There is no doubting the impact that the internet has had on everyday life, and the incredible change that it has brought to our society and the world as a whole. In most cases, the change has been a positive one, and since the availability and accessibility has become ubiquitous, it is a force to be dealt with every day.

One area that has been weakened by the internet is retail, as many people have come to trust transactions on the internet and shopping is fast and easy, and delivery in many cases is very cheap or free. Bankruptcies in the industry are piling up, and in 2017 alone such well-known companies as Payless, Wet Seal, The Limited and hhgregg have filed for protection.

A new Jefferies research report sources an article from S&P Global Market Intelligence that looks at 10 companies that are the most at risk now to be one of the next to choose bankruptcy. While filing bankruptcy in of itself does not mean the company is gone forever, it does mean that shareholders and holders of the debt can be in for a long wait.

Here are the 10 companies cited in the article as being potential candidates to file for bankruptcy.
