Jupiter Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Lawyer
Business owners face a different set of pressures from those of other consumers. In addition to providing a living for themselves and their own families, they often have partners, investors, and employees who depend on their success to provide for their families as well. When outstanding debts become impossible to juggle, it can lead to the loss of your reputation in the community, along with lost profits and reduced hours, layoffs, and even the closing of the business itself. In these situations, the law firm of Nowack & Olson, PLLC can help to salvage the money you invested and the future returns you hope to make. Our Jupiter Chapter 11 bankruptcy lawyers can guide you through your available options, to help determine the best course of action in your particular case.
Protecting the Interests of Business Owners and Their Associates
Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcy proceedings can help to provide relief for honest debtors, so that they are able to regain their financial footing without losing property that is important to them, such as their homes or vehicles. However, business owners tend to have more complex needs, which Chapter 11 was designed specifically to address.
Under the United States Code (11 USC Ch. 11), a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is designed as a reorganization. Rather than selling off all assets to satisfy debts, thereby forcing the business to close, it allows business owners to restructure payments and keep their doors open. In addition to protecting their own future profits and the financial security of their families and their business partners or investors, it also protects the vendors and other businesses they work with. Chapter 11 allows the owner act as the ‘debtor in possession’ of the business, while operating under the oversight of creditors and the Chapter 11 trustee in their case.
