Description

Recently, a new section was added to the Bankruptcy Code that allows small businesses to file a unique form of bankruptcy known as a Subchapter V case. It provides a number of advantages to businesses and business owners that were not previously possible and allows a case to be completed in much less time, and at less expense than a traditional chapter 11. In many instances, a business can quickly streamline, restructure or shed untenable debt, while allowing the equity owners to remain in place. This is intended to give a CPA an understanding of this new law and how it might be a valuable tool for certain clients.
