What is Chapter 11 Bankruptcy?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Is your business struggling with a financial obligation? Are you having a hard time covering your payroll or store rent? For business owners facing financial distress and the threat of losing the company they’ve worked hard to build, filing bankruptcy in Oregon<\/a> can help you get out of troubling waters.<\/p>\n

Under a Chapter 11 bankruptcy<\/strong>, businesses can restructure their debts thereby enabling the company to stay afloat. It is designed to help debtors create a financial plan that the creditors and the Court will agree on to help the company remain open. The agreement will involve modifying interest rates, adjusting due dates of payments, or even discharging debts entirely! As long as all creditors agree on the terms, the new contract will be enforced and the filer will receive a debt discharge. <\/p>\n

In contrast, if your business is already closing, a liquidation bankruptcy<\/a> might be a better alternative. Some debtors opt for bankruptcy under Chapter 13 or 7 to cut on the time, cost and risk of going through Chapter 11 proceedings. Our Portland bankruptcy attorneys<\/a> here at Michael D. O’Brien and Associates<\/strong> can help you decide which bankruptcy option is right for you. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
