Chapter 7 Business Bankruptcy refers to a procedure allowed under The United States Bankruptcy Code in which a business entity (such as a Corporation, Limited Liability Company, Limited Partnership, etc.) liquidates its assets in an orderly and transparent procedure. This process allows a struggling business to cease its business operations and provide a potential monetary dividend to its creditors from the sale of its business assets. A business entity that files a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Petition is often referred to the “Petitioner.”
One of the immediate advantages of a Chapter 7 Business Bankruptcy is that all creditor activities associated with the business are effectively stayed, thereby allowing the Petitioner to funnel all pending creditor actions through a single forum – The United States Bankruptcy Court.
