WHAT IS BANKRUPTCY?
Bankruptcy is a legal process where a debtor can be relieved from paying off their debts, either partially or in full. This “fresh start” provides them with protection from creditors and collection agencies. Depending on the type of bankruptcy that is filed, some assets may need to be sold or liquidated to pay back creditors.
Filing for bankruptcy is often seen as a sign of failure, but it's actually a way for businesses to secure debt-free futures. It can provide them with protection from creditors and give them the time needed to liquidate any assets that are not needed for reorganization and pay off priority tax obligations. This means that debt does not always need to be a lifelong burden; filing for bankruptcy can be a step onward toward financial freedom. Taking this step can help to free up resources, allowing businesses to confidently plan for the future debt-free.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BUSINESS BANKRUPTCIES?
There are several types of bankruptcy available for businesses depending on their needs and financial situation. These include SubChapter V, Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.
Sub-Chapter V Bankruptcy is an incredibly beneficial form of bankruptcy that allows small business owners to quickly and efficiently restructure debt without the need for a third-party trustee or expensive legal fees. This type of bankruptcy offers two primary benefits: it can help creditors receive some or all of their money back and it can provide businesses with a reasonable payment schedule that fits their budget.
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy allows businesses to reorganize their debt while continuing operations, like restructuring payments and renegotiating contracts with creditors while still running the business. This type of bankruptcy gives businesses time to reorganize without facing any pressure from creditors.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy involves the liquidation of assets in order to pay off creditors as much as possible before closing down the business entirely. This type of filing usually leads to complete closure of the company but it also offers debt relief if there isn’t enough money available to pay off all debts after liquidation of assets.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy involves setting up a repayment plan over a three-to-five-year period that will allow the business owner(s) to pay back some or all of their debt with reduced payments or interest rates over an extended period of time.
