Chapter 11
If you own a business or corporation, Chapter 11 is a reorganization proceeding to consider. There are special circumstances you have to meet. Some individuals whose debts are larger than the limits of Chapter 13 may file Chapter 11. In Chapter 11, the debtor usually remains in possession of assets and continues to operate any business, subject to the oversight of the court and the creditors committee. You propose a plan of reorganization to the creditors, who vote on it. If the majority accept it, your plan is confirmed by the court and becomes binding to you and your creditors. Plans can call for repayment out of future income or sales of some or all of the assets.
