The legal team at Gina H. McDonald & Associates, LLC, has extensive experience advising business owners through their legal options in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Our firm can guide you through the legal solutions available to reorganize your company’s debt, including traditional Chapter 11 bankruptcy and Subchapter V bankruptcy.
Chapter 11 bankruptcy offers numerous advantages over “liquidation” Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, a business can continue to operate while restructuring its debts and repaying them under a court-approved plan. In many cases, companies can renegotiate the terms of their debts, including reducing interest rates, lengthening repayment terms, or discharging parts of debt balances, to make repayment more affordable for businesses. A business pursuing Chapter 11 bankruptcy does not have to liquidate (sell) assets to pay back creditors. Chapter 11 bankruptcies also allow business owners to avoid having trustees assume control over their business’s operations.
Small businesses can also pursue Chapter 11 through a Subchapter V bankruptcy, a process open to small businesses that owe less than $3.424 million in debts, with at least half of that debt coming from business operations rather than personal loans. Subchapter V bankruptcies offer small businesses a more straightforward process than traditional Chapter 11 bankruptcy, including limiting the right to file a repayment plan to the business and making the disclosure statement obligation a matter of discretion for the bankruptcy court. Furthermore, while Subchapter V bankruptcies always involve trustees, their role focuses on supporting the business owner as they fulfill the repayment plan. Finally, Subchapter V bankruptcy does not require businesses to give up equity to creditors if they cannot repay debts during the repayment plan.
Our firm can walk you through your bankruptcy options when your business’s debts have become unsustainable. We will help you understand how bankruptcy allows your business to resolve its financial troubles and guide you through each step of your company’s bankruptcy case.
