► Overview of Business Debt Reduction Process
A business bankruptcy can feel drastic. Sometimes, it is possible to avoid a business bankruptcy filing by working with creditors to restructure the debt obligation. This can involve a variety of debt restructuring strategies, that can ultimately work towards turning the business around and permitting it to continue business without liquidation. Our goal is to work with you to bring you the resources you need to make things work and continue your business as successfully as possible.
► Business Debt Restructuring Can Help You Stay in Control
Many times, business clients wish to avoid bankruptcy due to the lengthy legal process and attorneys’ fees. Using business debt restructuring services can help eliminate debt while avoiding the length, time, and hassle of going to court. Many times, bankruptcies can be expensive, long, and do not necessarily guarantee that you will be able to retain control of your business. Using alternative debt-relief strategies can assist with the process in a much more “business-friendly” way.
► What to Do When Overhead and Debt Obligations are Too High
One of the top reasons that causes business professionals to seek debt relief services or bankruptcy services is overhead that is too high and crippling especially when considering loans, lines of credit, and other obligations. There are generally a few traditional ways to overcome unsustainable debt, which includes: 1) increasing revenue, which may not always occur as fast as the business needs; or 2) decrease the debt through a strategy that will allow the business to regulate its cash flow with more ease, so that it can turn things around.
Many times, businesses belief that a bankruptcy is the only solution that exists, but that is sometimes not the best option. Debt relief does not involve courts, trial lawyers, bankrutpcy filings, and no legal fees.
► What can a Business Reorganization do for Your Business?
A business reorganization can help any insolvent business reduce its debt by creating a new entity. The reality of the business world is that, businesses are created and dissolved every day and we generally recommend clients not to become too emotionally attached to a particular “business entity” when restructuring or reorganizing the business could provide much needed debt relief.
► What type of Bankruptcies are Available for Business Bankruptcy?
Sometimes, a bankrutpcy is the only solution for a business. For bankruptcy proceedings, debt relief options include the following:
Small Business Chapter 7 Filing. A Chapter 7 filing liquidates the business assets to pay the creditors and marks the end of the business. A trustee is generally appointed by the Court to take over the liquidation process and relieving you of the responsibility of dealing with your creditors.
Small Business Chapter 13 Filing. A Chapter 13 filing can protect your business from landlord eviction, IRS collections, and other creditor claims, while giving you time to get your business bank on a stable footing. The trustee does not take control of your business, can you can still keep operation of the business with regular income in tact with the added benefits of having to make only one payment to the Chapter 13 Trustee. A Chapter 13 business bankruptcy can be much more cost-effective than a liquidation, especially if you seek to stay in the business.
► Our Billing Philosophy and Fees
We have a wide variety of billing arrangements that are flexible for businesses of all sizes and types. On many occasions, we provide legal services to business clients on a flat fee, or budgeted basis, by which the overall legal expenses are capped for purposes of the task or project being performed. It is generally a very straightforward process, and many clients are pleased to learn how affordable it can be to obtain reliable legal advice for their business matter.
We also use traditional legal billing structures, such as hourly services, as well as hybrid billing arrangements for clients whose billing needs are more specific. Our billing practices reflect the philosophy of providing value-added services for clients, in a cost-effective, affordable, and reliable manner. Most businesses generally cannot afford the high legal fees of large law firms, which can feel overwhelming, especially when there are multiple timekeepers assigned to a file all doing what appears to be the same or similar tasks. Our billing philosophy specifically is designed to avoid the types of billing practices that frustrate business clients the most.
