If you exclude all external / environmental reasons that there remains all internal reasons for the company to go sick.

This include poor quality, losing competitive position in marked due to price or quality or credit aspects. From lender's perspective more important is the cash flow management. If cash is earned but is not received then there is a problem. If cash is earned but is not sufficient to recover cost of capital and service the debt there is a problem. If promoter has malafied intents, lenders need to worry about.

Managerial Philosophy that's if the management is committed to adapt to change. E.g Kodak and Xerox. They died because they did not improvise and adapted new technology. Also take IBM. They moved from making computers to largest technological service solutions in the world.
