What is the process for reorganizing a business in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy?

The process for reorganizing a business in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Nevada starts when the debtor files a petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court. The debtor must provide detailed information about their business assets, debts, income, and expenses. Once the petition is filed, all creditors must be notified of the bankruptcy filing. The next step is to draft a reorganization plan. This plan must be approved by the creditors and the court. The plan will detail how the debtor will pay back creditors over time, often through reduced payments and modified interest rates. The court will then appoint a trustee to oversee the reorganization process. The trustee will be responsible for collecting money from creditors, making sure the reorganization plan is properly implemented, and reporting any changes to the court. The debtor will also be required to attend a meeting of creditors. During this meeting, creditors will be allowed to ask questions about the debtor’s reorganization plan and the debtor’s ability to pay them back. Once the debtor’s reorganization plan is approved by the court, the debtor must comply with all the terms of the plan. The debtor must make timely payments, keep accurate records, and maintain all financial records as required by the bankruptcy code. If the debtor fails to comply, the court may revoke the plan and the debtor may be required to liquidate their assets to pay back creditors.
