Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

What is Chapter 11 Bankruptcy?

Chapter 11 is a type of bankruptcy available to businesses that are overwhelmed with debt to their lenders and/or creditors. Chapter 11 is also referred to as "reorganization" bankruptcy and may be used by companies that are classified as corporations, sole proprietorships or partnerships. When businesses file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, they are given an opportunity to reorganize their companies so that they can become profitable again.

In order to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, businesses must meet certain eligibility requirements. Businesses must also successfully file bankruptcy petitions with the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts.

Why Do Companies File for Chapter 11?

The reasons companies file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy vary. However, one of the most common reasons is companies having a difficult time repaying and/or managing their debts. The only way many businesses stand a chance of repaying their creditors and becoming profitable once again is by filing for reorganization bankruptcy.
