Business Bankruptcy- Chapter 11

CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, “Reorganization”,  allows for corporations, small businesses, and individuals to file for a Chapter 11 reorganization case. Through this type of bankruptcy, the debtor can liquidate assets or work to create an agreement with creditors to keep the business operational and restructure outstanding debt payments to pay down debt over time.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy that targets restructuring can assist in multiple layers of debt from secured and unsecured debt, priority tax debt, executive contract debt, and leases, while also assisting in keeping assets of a business and an individual protected.

The Chapter 11 Bankruptcy process occurs in two phases known as pre-confirmation and post-confirmation. There is not a limit to the amount of debt a business has incurred that would prevent from being able to file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.
