Chapter 11 Business Bankruptcy is often thought of as the commercial bankruptcy option for businesses, sole proprietors and partnerships seeking to restructure their debts while they liquidate assets and restructure payment plans with creditors.
CAUTION: One of the most common errors we see when a small business is facing mounting debt, is waiting to consult an experienced attorney. Small business owners assume that they do not need to consult an attorney until things are “much worse” or feel that attorneys who are experienced in small business debt will force them to close or cost too much. We have assisted many small business owners in all stages of business debt and believe that it is never “too early” to consult an experienced attorney to know your rights, options, and to be able to make the best business decisions moving forward. Your creditors have attorney, so small business owners need one, too.
A Chapter 11 Bankruptcy case may be filed by a Limited Liability Company (), Corporation (C. Corp. or S. Corp.), or other form of business entity seeking to restructure the debt of a company.
A Chapter 11 Bankruptcy may be an effective way for a small business to reorganize its debt and develop a repayment plan. We can help you negotiate a repayment plan that is beneficial to all involved. Chapter 11 cases are especially helpful if you have a current business downturn or debt problem, but you know that things will turn around in the short term. In many Chapter 11 payment plans, the client is eligible to pay a much lower percentage to unsecured creditors. If you have IRS or state tax problems, you can also restructure that debt over at least five (5) years in Chapter 11.
