Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
The most common form of bankruptcy, Chapter 7, involves the liquidation of your business assets under the protection of the court. The court evaluates your assets, then liquidates or sells them to pay off creditors.
Our attorneys evaluate your business assets to determine your best course of action for Chapter 7. We negotiate with creditors, preventing them from harassing you. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often the last resort for sole proprietorships and small businesses.
Who is Eligible?
Not everyone can file a Chapter 7. In Tennessee, you’ll find that you have to pass a “means test” which will determine if you are eligible or not. If your income is in excess of a certain amount, then you won’t be able to file for this type.
It’s available to the following:
- Individuals
- Married Couples
- Partnerships
- Corporations
So if the entity which is seaking to file a Chapter 7 falls under a different type of arrangement, then they’ll have to seek out other options.
