Known Marcel Dobler (39) was used as a co-founder and CEO of Digitec Galaxus, the retailer in the largest online. The businessman sits for the St. Gallen FDP in the national Council. For almost two years, Dobler is co-owner and Board of Directors of Franz Carl Weber and this is a company with a long tradition hits the Corona a particularly hard time.
Marcel Dobler: The Lockdown meets Franz Carl Weber brutally hard. Prior to the Lockdown, we revenue had losses of 30 per cent. Now, we do not make a Swiss franc of sales revenue, and after the Lockdown more sales will follow losses. We estimate the damage as a result of the Coronavirus currently about two million francs, and, although we have applied for our employees short-time work.
After the wages are clearly the Rent. We have 18 branches, all of which are in Prime locations. For these locations against a Million Swiss francs are due on a monthly basis. Even now, although we can’t sell anything. This bill does not rise for the company. Even if as an emergency aid for these deficits, liquidity is provided, only the accumulated debt.
We have written to all owners a letter and asked you to hours the Rent up to and including April, so to suspend. However, it is clear that A deferral may not be the final solution, especially if we are talking about the 19. April also had to remain closed, and the damage is extent unclear.
I believe this measure of the Federal Council for the right one. To win but only to have time to give to the tenants of air and to prevent the System collapsing. Problems are solved this but no. Because the company will not be in three months will be able to pay the accrued Rent. With what money? You have no income.
We cannot avoid it: The Federal government needs to support companies with direct payments for the rent. And the landlords need to adopt during this state of emergency is a part of the rent. This assistance will be in the medium term, to go thousands of companies in bankruptcy.
Also, the guarantees for emergency loans are a good immediate measure to prevent a collapse of the economy. But this, too, the problems are not solved, but merely postponed. It is not advisable to take out a loan to pay current expenses such as the rent. In this case, I have to be a Problem, if the repayment of the loan is due.
I understand that the landlords opposed it, that the problems are passed on to you. At the same time, we pay as Franz Carl Weber for something for which we get nothing in return. In the lease it says that we can sell in the real estate rented toys. But we can’t do that currently. Due to this conflict, there needs to be a compromise and the necessary willingness to engage in dialogue in order to overcome this difficult Situation together.
There is no Alternative. Ultimately, this is also in the interest of the landlord. Because if you are insisting on the full rent, will have to make many companies to close up Shop. Then, the rented buildings are empty and the landlords have no more income …
