  • Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

    When someone files for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, their aim is to have the opportunity to repay some or all their debts under the safety of a court-ordered plan. Unlike Chapter 7, which involves liquidation of non-exempt assets, this process allows the debtor to use whatever income they may have in the future to pay off the creditors.

  • Chapter 7 business bankruptcy is available for:

    • Corporations

    • LLCs

    that type of business is not an entity that is legally distinct from the

    What is Chapter 7?

    In general, the purpose of a Chapter 7 business bankruptcy is to
    liquidate the business.

    Do the Owners Get To Keep Any Assets of the Business?

    No, the assets are entirely liquidated by the bankruptcy trustee. 
    There are no exemptions available for businesses, unlike that for personal
    Chapter 7 bankruptcies.

    Chapter 7 Means Test

    Unlike personal bankruptcies, there is no Chapter 7 Means Test for
    businesses.  A business can file for Chapter 7 at any time.

    How Does Chapter 7 Work?

    A trustee is appointed who collects all the unsecured property, sells the
    assets and distributes proceeds from this sale to appropriate creditors. 
    Businesses do not get a discharge on the debts; creditors simply get a
    partial distribution of the assets, and that is all.

    Reaffirmation Agreements

    Unlike personal bankruptcies, there are no reaffirmation agreements in a
    business Chapter 7.
