Understanding Chapter 11 Business Bankruptcy
Chapter 11 bankruptcy, often referred to as “reorganization bankruptcy,” allows businesses to restructure their debts and continue operations while repaying creditors. This type of bankruptcy is designed to help businesses regain financial stability and avoid liquidation.
Key Aspects of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Eligibility for Chapter 11
Chapter 11 bankruptcy is available to corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietorships. It is typically used by businesses that need to reorganize their debts while continuing to operate. Unlike Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which involves liquidation, Chapter 11 allows businesses to retain their assets and work towards financial recovery.
The Automatic Stay
When a business files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, an automatic stay goes into effect immediately. This legal provision halts most collection actions, including lawsuits, foreclosures, and creditor harassment. The automatic stay provides temporary relief, allowing the business time to develop a reorganization plan.
Reorganization Plan
A central component of Chapter 11 bankruptcy is the reorganization plan. This plan outlines how the business intends to repay its debts while continuing operations. The plan must be approved by the bankruptcy court and creditors. It may involve renegotiating terms with creditors, reducing debts, and implementing new business strategies to improve profitability.
Debtor-in-Possession
In Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the business typically continues to operate as a “debtor-in-possession,” meaning the business retains control of its assets and operations during the bankruptcy process. This status allows the business to manage its daily activities while working on financial reorganization.
