What is a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy?

Fresno Bankruptcy Lawyers Help Reorganize Your Debt

Among the more common forms of bankruptcy, Chapter 11 is the most versatile. Virtually anyone can file, whether you're an individual, corporation, partnership, or LLC. This form of bankruptcy is built upon debt restructuring instead of debt elimination. For a small business, filing for Chapter 11 allows you to keep your operations running. For individuals, it allows you to retain assets.

Though Chapter 11 offers more flexibility than Chapter 13, that versatility comes at a price. Generally speaking, a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is more complicated and expensive to file. Additionally, some debts that can be discharged in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy cannot be discharged under Chapter 11.
