Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

 

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a debt reorganization process that is most often used by businesses that want to continue doing business and repay its debts at the same time. In addition, it benefits individuals who don’t qualify for other chapters or need certain protections Chapter 11 offers. Overall, Chapter 11 is more expensive and complex than other types of bankruptcy, but it can offer significant advantages if you qualify.
