CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY AND REORGANIZATION
Chapter 11 is the chapter of the Bankruptcy Code that permits a person or business to reorganize while obtaining protection from its creditors. Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code is entitled “Reorganization”. The Bankruptcy Code is the name given to that portion of the federal laws that deal with bankruptcy.
Legally, anyone except a governmental agency, an estate, a nonbusiness trust, a stockbroker, a commodity broker, an insurance company, a bank, or an SBA-licensed small business investment company may file under Chapter 11. An individual may not file under Chapter 11 if he or she has had another bankruptcy case dismissed upon certain grounds within the last 180 days. As a practical matter, Chapter 11 is available to virtually any business or person able to afford the expenses of the case.
