Bankruptcy - Chapter 11 Subchapter V
Eligibility: Individuals and Business Entities
- Chapter 11 Subchapter V is, similarly to Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, a reorganization, not a liquidation.
- Effective February 19, 2020, a new Chapter 11 Subchapter V Bankruptcy was enacted. This new chapter is part of the Small Business Reorganization Act (SBRA).
SBRA:

- Avoids small businesses from closing down.
- Provides an option to individuals who were previously not able to file Chapter 13 BK due to debt limitations.
- Provides a significantly less expensive bankruptcy option with a streamlined legal process and timeline.
- Eliminates Quarterly fees to the Trustee’s Office.
- Reduces the reporting requirements for a regular Chapter 11 when filing Chapter 11 Subchapter V.
- Enables small businesses to have a viable means to reorganize and continue to operate.
