Reorganization vs. Liquidation

Chapter 11 is considered a repayment or reorganization bankruptcy for businesses. In a Chapter 11 filing, your debts are reorganized in order to allow you to repay either a portion or all of them. This is a way for business which have the desire and resources to continue operating a chance to catch up on back payments while retaining assets and the original agreements with the parties that hold the debts. Typically, a Chapter 11 repayment plan lasts from three to five years, after which all debts should be up-to-date if payments occurred on the bankruptcy schedule.
