Chapter 11
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy is the process created by the United States Bankruptcy Code to preserve the Going Concern Value of operating businesses and to allow for a decision to be made by company’s creditors and equity holders or the Bankruptcy Court (if agreement cannot be reached) as to how such going concern value will be shared, distributed or reallocated.

This is because Chapter 11 is a more complex process that requires more extensive reporting, more involved legal representation and higher fees. The primary reason that individuals in North Florida choose Chapter 11 bankruptcy over Chapter 13 is if the amount of their debt exceeds the debt ceiling established under Chapter 13 bankruptcy law. Even if debt limits are too high for Chapter 13, Chapter 11 still provides an option for individuals to
restructure debt, prevent home foreclosure or vehicle repossession, stop IRS collection procedures and halt harassment by creditors.
This chapter of the bankruptcy code is the most complicated of the bankruptcies. Anthony W. Chauncey understands this complicated process and has confirmed dozens of Chapter 11 Plans for both corporate and individual clients.
