What kind of accounts are considered high risk?

Although certain industries (listed below) are considered high-risk, some industries that may be on the “safer side” may still be considered by some banks to be high risk, and that may be due to previous bankruptcies the owner of the firm may had in the past, unsatisfactory credit history, length of company in business and so forth. So, shortly, even businesses that most banks consider low risk may be considered high risk in some cases due to the individual situation of each company.
