Filing Chapter 11 is known as reorganization
In a chapter 11 case, a liquidating plan is permissible. Such a plan often allows the debtor in possession to liquidate the business under more economically advantageous circumstances than a chapter 7 liquidation.

can help you set your assets in order and take care of all the
files and red tape associated with bankruptcy in a smooth and efficient

Bankruptcy can be a devastating blow to an individual, a small
business, or a multi-million dollar corporation. The allocation
of funds, audits, creditor claims, and claiming of assets
may be too much for the staff of one corporation to handle, let
alone a single individual.
Bankruptcy, as far as the US Federal Bankruptcy Code is concerned,
is the process undergone when a business or individual seeks relief
from their debts. The Federal Code Law provides for the development
of a plan that allows a debtor, who is unable to pay his creditors,
to resolve his debts through the division of his assets among his
creditors. The proceedings involved in invoking bankruptcy are supervised
by and litigated in the United States Bankruptcy Courts. The Bankruptcy
Code provides that creditors must stop all collection efforts against
the debtor, and allows the debtor to organize his assets and settle
his debt and credit accounts in a feasible manner.
Federal bankruptcy laws also manage how private or commercial companies
go out of business or recover from crippling debt. A bankrupt company,
the "debtor," might use Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code
to "reorganize" its business and try to become profitable
again. Management continues to run the daily business operations
but all significant business decisions must be approved by a bankruptcy
court.
How Are Assets Divided in Bankruptcy?
Secured Creditors - often a bank is paid first.
Unsecured Creditors - such as suppliers and bondholders,
have the next claim.
Stockholders - owners of the company have the last claim on
assets and may not receive anything if the secured and unsecured
creditors' claims are not fully repaid.
