Chapter 7 Bankruptcy for Businesses
Chapter 7 bankruptcy can help you get out of unsecured debt, protect some of your assets, and immediately stop creditor harassment. It can also protect you from potential lawsuits, wage garnishments, and bank levies.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy may require the sale of your business. If you want to keep your business, then you should consider a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Contact Middlebrooks Shapiro today for your free consultation to discuss your options.
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy for Businesses
In New Jersey, Chapter 11 bankruptcy is for those who want to get out of debt without liquidation. Chapter 11 allows business owners to keep their company in operation, which enables them to earn long-term revenue and pay debts more efficiently. If your business has been struggling as a result of COVID-19, you should consider a Subchapter V Bankruptcy.
Subchapter V Bankruptcy
Subchapter V is focused on helping local small businesses throughout North Jersey find debt relief. It helps organizations speed up and reduce the costs of filing bankruptcy reorganization under Chapter 11. There are multiple criteria required to file a Subchapter V, for example, your total secured and unsecured debt must not exceed $2,725.625.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy for Businesses
New Jersey individuals that are operating a sole proprietor type business may file for Chapter 13, but corporations or partnerships cannot. For example, a consultant or a barber who cuts hair at his home can file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, but a grocery store or retail store cannot.
