Chapter 11 bankruptcy for small business may be the best option when business owners want to continue operating their business during and after the bankruptcy case.
Picking up from Small Business Bankruptcy: An Overview (Part 1)¸ the following provides an overview of the bankruptcy options for small businesses that are struggling with debt. Part 1 of this blog laid out some of the specific factors that need to be considered when choosing which bankruptcy option is most appropriate for a small business; it also provided some information regarding Chapter 7 bankruptcies for small businesses. Here, in Part 2, however, we will take a closer look at Chapter 11 bankruptcy for small businesses. It’s important to point out that small businesses cannot file for bankruptcy under Chapter 13, as this type of bankruptcy is reserved for individuals only.
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy for Small Businesses
More complicated than Chapter 7 bankruptcy for businesses, Chapter 11 is typically the best option when business owners want to keep their business open and continue operating during and after the bankruptcy case. With Chapter 11, the structure of the business is reorganized, and a repayment plan for all of the business’ debts is devised. Before Chapter 11 can proceed, the business’ creditors must review and approve the repayment plan, and the bankruptcy court must approve both the business’ reorganization and the repayment plan.
