Filing for Bankruptcy as a Business in Queens

The dynamic business landscape of Queens, New York, presents a unique set of challenges for companies striving to thrive.

Bankruptcy Options for Queens Businesses

Queens businesses facing financial headwinds have a lifeline in the form of bankruptcy, a legal tool designed to offer a fresh start and a path toward recovery. However, navigating the complexities of bankruptcy law can feel like a maze, with different paths leading to different outcomes. We want to be your trusted guide out of the labyrinth, helping you understand your options and choose a path that's right for your business.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Often referred to as liquidation bankruptcy, Chapter 7 is typically pursued when a business is no longer viable, and its debts outweigh its assets. In this scenario, assets are liquidated to repay creditors, offering a swift resolution but also marking the end of the business's operations. While it may seem like a drastic step, Chapter 7 can be a necessary one for businesses facing insurmountable debt, providing a clean slate and a chance to move forward.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Chapter 11, also known as reorganization bankruptcy, is designed for businesses with the potential to rebound. This option allows businesses to continue operating while restructuring their debts and operations under court supervision. It's a more complex process, but it offers the opportunity to negotiate with creditors, modify contracts, and implement a plan to regain profitability. If your business has a solid foundation but is struggling under the weight of debt, Chapter 11 could be your lifeline.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

While primarily used by individuals, Chapter 13 bankruptcy can also be a viable option for sole proprietorships with a regular income. This type of bankruptcy involves creating a structured repayment plan, allowing the business to pay off debts over time while continuing to operate. It's a good choice for businesses that have a steady income but need some breathing room to catch up on payments.
