Chapter 7 For Businesses

Facing possible bankruptcy for your business is difficult. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a proceeding in which a company stops all operations and goes out of business. A trustee is appointed to liquidate the company’s assets, and the proceeds are used to pay off debt. Businesses filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy are allowed to keep certain exempt property, but a trustee usually liquidates much of the property in order to maximize the recovery to creditors.

The goal of a debtor in almost any bankruptcy is to discharge (i.e., obtain a legal release) existing debts and allow for a fresh start. In other words, when the discharge is granted, the debtor is legally released from the debts that were incurred before filing for bankruptcy. The creditors are entitled to share in the proceeds obtained from the liquidation of nonexempt assets. Under Chapter 7, the amount the creditors will get is fixed by the value of the nonexempt assets.
