What is a “debtor-in-possession budget” in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy?

A debtor-in-possession (DIP) budget is an important component of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy in South Carolina. This type of budget is filed by an individual or business that seeks to reorganize their debts in the bankruptcy court. A DIP budget is a detailed document that outlines the monthly expenses expected, including housing, utilities, food, transportation, and any other essential needs. It also includes projected income for the period and any expected contributions from third-parties and/or family members. The purpose of the DIP budget is to provide the bankruptcy court with a clear overview of the debtor’s financial situation and to help the court determine if the debtor’s plan for repayment is feasible. With this information, the court is in a better position to evaluate the proposed repayment plan and assess whether it is within the debtor’s realistic ability to pay back the debt without undue hardship. A DIP budget is an essential part of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy in South Carolina and must be submitted to the court before the debtor-in-possession is allowed to continue with the bankruptcy process. This document will then be used as a reference throughout the duration of the bankruptcy to make sure the debtor is complying with the repayment plan as required by the court.
