Chapter 11 bankruptcy for businesses and individuals

Chapter 11 is designed to help save businesses of all kinds from overwhelming debt to allow them to either reorganize, sell their assets, or liquidate in an orderly fashion.

Chapter 11 is also available for certain individuals who do not qualify to file Chapter 13 in order to reorganize and save their homes and other assets.

  • Individual Chapter 11 for people who don’t qualify for Chapter 13
  • Healthcare, media, manufacturing, real estate and service industries
