Business Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Business chapter 7 bankruptcy is different from a consumer bankruptcy. Unlike when an individual files, corporations can no longer continue operation; they become debt-free by dissolving the company entirely. While this may seem daunting, there are certain circumstances under which a company might wish to file for this type of bankruptcy. For example, say a corporation is worried that creditors will try to pursue legal action to reclaim their debts. By declaring business chapter 7 bankruptcy, they can help mitigate this concern. This is because filing proves that the money truly is all going to the creditors to pay off debts and not somewhere else. When done correctly, this can give a better sense of closure and allow business owners to start fresh. 

When you are considering filing for bankruptcy, it’s important to get a second opinion from a qualified lawyer. So, consider contacting us for a free initial consultation.
