CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY VS. CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY

Many individuals or businesses that would like to file for bankruptcy come to Orantes Law Firm unsure of whether Chapter 11 or Chapter 13 is right for them. This is common because both have an underlying similarity of allowing for debt reorganization or restructuring. Under a repayment plan, debtors under both types of bankruptcy are protected from adverse creditors. However, there are many differences and it is important that you are fully educated about them in order to make a well-informed decision.

Here are just some of the major differences (we highly recommend that you consult with our attorney for a full in-depth understanding of the differences and how they may impact your specific case):

  • Chapter 11 bankruptcy is for businesses and individuals with significant debt and assets.

  • Chapter 13 bankruptcy is only for individuals (therefore if you are an individual owning a business can only file for Chapter 13 as an individual, not as a small business or other business entity).

  • Chapter 13 bankruptcy is only for individuals with a regular stream of income and there are debt limitations.

  • Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows for all types of business entities including sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLCs, corporations, etc., and there are no debt or income limitations.

  • Chapter 13 bankruptcy always includes an appointed bankruptcy trustee; while in Chapter 11 a trustee is appointed only in exceptional cases (such as fraud).

  • Creditors can reject a proposed repayment or reorganization plan under Chapter 11; while in Chapter 13 creditors generally must accept it.
