What is Business Bankruptcy?

Business bankruptcy is a legal process that allows small businesses, corporations, and partnerships to either eliminate debt through liquidation or restructure it while continuing operations. Most business bankruptcies fall under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11, depending on the company’s size, debt level, and long-term goals.

Business Bankruptcy Chapter 7: Used when a business is closing and needs to liquidate assets and settle debts.

Business Bankruptcy Chapter 11: Allows businesses to reorganize their debt and stay in operation while repaying creditors over time.

We help you understand what path is right for your business.
