Chapter 11 gives business owners the opportunity the reorganize their debts, assets, and affairs in pursuit of a fresh start. It involves proposing a plan of reorganization to pay back creditors over time. Although Chapter 11 is the most complex of all bankruptcy cases, and only entered into after all other options have been exhausted, it has enabled many business owners to escape scenarios of overwhelming debt and end up in a position of financial security.
