- Strong Competition
- According to Crowdfund Insider, despite the company had been running it well for years, the company struggled with competition.
- An email the company shared to investors said, "“We are getting in touch to let you know that The Idle Man has gone into administration. I’m sure that this news will be extremely disappointing for you as an investor in the company.”
- Failed Acquisition (Takeover)
- According to multiple reports, after The Idle Man had gone into administration, the company was "acquired" by the parent company of Oasis and Warehouse for an undisclosed sum.
- The takeover deal consisted of the company having access to Oasis and Warehouse Group's knowledge and experience, as well having the benefit of accessing to the company's supply chain and infrastructure.
- However, in April 15 2020, the chain fell into administration after failing to find a buyer and now the administrators are declaring their permanent closure.
- As part of the group's acquisition, The Idle Man and Basytan Fashions were also shut down permanently.
