Spanish term or phrase: Mi fábrica la cerró el Banco
Estoy traduciendo correspondencia comercial redactada por un modesto empresario chileno. Quiero ayudarle un poco, como verán en mi versión más abajo, pero no estoy segura sobre lo del cierre de la fábrica.

ÉSTE ES EL PÁRRAFO ORIGINAL:
Me comunico con usted después de largo tiempo, ya que no tenía palabras para explicar que mi fábrica la cerró el Banco xxx.

MI VERSIÓN:
Please accept my sincere apologies for not contacting you earlier. The reason for my long silence is that I could not find the words to explain that Banco xxx LIQUIDATED MY BUSINESS.

SUGERENCIAS SENCILLAS, POR FAVOR. NO PRETENDO ELEVAR DEMASIADO LA COSA, PORQUE EL RESTO ES DEL MISMO TENOR. ¡GRACIAS!

Explanation:
I did not write to you before because I did not know how to tell you that the bank shut down my factory.
