Chapter 11
JON L. MARTIN, ATTORNEY AT LAW
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
No business or real estate owner wants to see the economy drop the way it has. With poor economic standards, families are scraping to get by, even cutting out time for recreation. This means that hotels and motels suffer from lack of business, and some are barely meeting financial goals. The temperature of the economy is staying steadily low, with no indication of picking up any time soon. For your business or real estate that is suffocating with debt, it’s time to consider your options. Deciding to file for bankruptcy may be a realistic alternative to your debts. If you would like to continue business, filing for Chapter 11 can help you reorganize and restructure your finances to stay afloat. The bankruptcy code provides for exclusive periods of time for businesses to refine and restructure their businesses without interference from creditors as long as they comply with local rules and the code itself. You don’t have to shut down business just because of a struggling economy.
JON L. MARTIN, ATTORNEY AT LAW
Filing Under Chapter 11
While filing for bankruptcy can seem like a desperate step to take, if you file for Chapter 11, you may still have the ability to continue operating your business. This will benefit you greatly with the chance to get your finances cleared and your business back to life. The bankruptcy court will have involvement and control over major decisions such as lease agreements, expansions or entering into contract agreements. They will have to approve any of these actions, but still allow you to operate while seeking approval.
Debtors generally have exclusive control for the first few months to provide input on the reorganization plan that their business will go through. Large debts can be difficult to juggle while managing a business, which is why the benefit of restructuring your finances and reducing debt payments to smaller increments can be extremely helpful. You will also have the potential to sell assets in order to have a more manageable, focused scope of business. Whether you want to hold onto your business or liquidate, Chapter 11 bankruptcy makes it possible.

Is My Business Eligible?

If you want more information on how to determine whether or not your business should consider Chapter 11, getting legal guidance is the next step. Chapter 11 bankruptcy may seem like a risky choice, but by having a bankruptcy attorney examine your situation and financial records, you will be better informed in whatever decision you make.

Florida Chapter 5 Bankruptcy: Restructuring for Small Businesses
Small businesses play a critical role in the American economy. However, in the past, these businesses had limited options when they faced financial difficulties. Traditional Chapter 11 bankruptcy was often too expensive for small businesses, and state court liquidation proceedings meant the end of the business.
Fortunately, the Small Business Reorganization Act (SBRA) has introduced Subchapter V of Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which provides a streamlined and more affordable process for small businesses to reorganize their debts and avoid liquidation. With Chapter 5 bankruptcy, small businesses now have a powerful tool to face their financial challenges head-on and emerge stronger than ever.

Florida Chapter 11 Bankruptcy: Reorganization and New Beginnings for Businesses
Chapter 11 bankruptcy provides a lifeline for businesses facing financial struggles. This legal process allows businesses to reorganize their debts and avoid liquidation, giving them a chance to get back on their feet. Chapter 11 is available to all types of businesses, including corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietorships.
Businesses typically file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy voluntarily, but creditors can also file an involuntary petition if the business is not meeting its financial obligations. The bankruptcy petition is usually filed in the state where the business has its primary place of business, but businesses also have the option to file in their home state.
The business can continue operating during bankruptcy but must seek court approval for major decisions such as selling assets or entering into new contracts. The goal of Chapter 11 bankruptcy is to develop a reorganization plan that outlines how the business will restructure its debts and continue operating successfully. Once the court approves the reorganization plan, the business can emerge from bankruptcy and start fresh.

This way, you can achieve financial stability in just three to five years. It’s time to take charge of your financial future and consider Chapter 13 bankruptcy as a viable option.
