Looking Toward the Future
The economy has presented financial challenges to individuals and businesses across the country. As unemployment, inflation, and daily costs of living rise, property values and economic opportunities sometimes fall, leaving many people in financial straits. With few other options available, bankruptcy may present a viable solution to problems involving debt and negative cash flow.
Individuals may utilize personal bankruptcy for purposes of seeking a financial fresh start, free of the burdens (with some exceptions) of existing indebtedness. Such relief typically takes the form of a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing, although Chapter 11 may be appropriate in more complicated situations.
Businesses that struggle from an inability to pay rent, taxes, vendor claims, trade debt, and general bills may pursue bankruptcy relief under Chapter 7 for purposes of undergoing a formal liquidation or under Chapter 11 in an attempt to reorganize and thereby remain in business.
