Massachusetts Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Attorney

Bankruptcy For Business

Many businesses are in financial trouble during these hard economic times.  As a result, they may have to resort to bankruptcy filing in order to attempt to continue to do business, or to close their doors and have their debts discharged. Chapter 11 filing allows for bankruptcy protection for businesses in federal court that will allow the business from having to pay some or all of their debts. To determine whether your business can qualify for this type of filing it is recommended you consult with a Massachusetts bankruptcy attorney. Keeping your business operational is vitally important to your continued welfare and those of your employees. By allowing the Law Office of Gail Balser to assist you in making this difficult decision, you can avoid further financial hardships.

Businesses have the option to use various types of bankruptcies if they qualify. A filing of either Chapter 7 or Chapter 11, or occasionally even a Chapter 13 can be sought. A creditor can sometimes force a business into a bankruptcy as they attempt to collect their debt, but there are strict restrictions on this being able to be accomplished.  If a business wishes to keep its doors open, Chapter 11 is normally the best option,

Chapter 11 bankruptcies can be rather complex and require the skill and knowledge of a professional attorney.  This type of filing will allow the business to continue operations as it restructures its debt through Bankruptcy Court. A plan of reorganization must be made and approved by the court with input from the creditors. The plan must show how the business can continue to financially conduct business while being able to maintain payments to creditors. If the court cannot approve the plan, this type of bankruptcy may be converted to a Chapter 7.
