Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy? Contact a Maryland Attorney

Chapter 11 bankruptcy may be an appropriate response from a small business or individual to the problem of overwhelming debt. Individuals can also file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, but businesses cannot. This is why many people refer to Chapter 11 as "business bankruptcy" even though individuals sometimes file Chapter 11. Differences between a Chapter 11 and a Chapter 13 bankruptcy include difference in requirements for monthly reports, separate bank accounts and disclosure statements.

If you suspect that Chapter 11 reorganization bankruptcy will offer your business (or you, an individual) the best opportunity to move forward in the face of foreclosures and financial crisis, it is essential that you discuss your situation with an experienced bankruptcy lawyer.
