What is Chapter 11 Bankruptcy?
A San Jose bankruptcy lawyer asks What is Chapter 11 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, by definition, is a bankruptcy filing process designed under the United States Bankruptcy Code for debtors that qualify for reorganizing their accumulated business affair debt, including managing their various assets. Chapter 11 bankruptcies are typically filed by corporations desiring time to restructure their debt. Chapter 11 bankruptcy is considered a more complicated filing, due to the reorganization component wherein the debtor, with the assistance a qualified and experienced Chapter 11 bankruptcy attorney, makes arrangements with their creditors to maintain repayments under a new payment plan that is usually over a longer period of time and structured to meet their current financial abilities.
The Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filer does this by preparing a disclosure statement describing their new proposal and outlining their prospective payment plan for their creditors to review. Their various creditors must vote on the plan, thus coming to a mutually agreed upon payment schedule that allows the Chapter 11 filer the opportunity to revive themselves financially and, in most cases, continue running their business (as opposed to liquidation).
All Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing reorganization plans require final approval from the Bankruptcy Court.
Once their obligations are met under the Chapter 11 bankruptcy guidelines and requirements, Chapter 11 filers obtain the “Fresh Start” as in other bankruptcy filings, such as Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
