Before filing for bankruptcy, you may feel intimidated or even shame. However, letting go of this sense of resentment and blame could be the solution to your current financial woes. Filing for bankruptcy, whether as an individual, married couple, or business, can be a highly effective means of regaining financial control of your life, business, or, in some scenarios, both.
The process of filing for bankruptcy, and the steps following after, are almost always complicated and confusing for even the biggest finance aficionados. One of the first factors you need to determine is your qualifying debt and income. From there, you must quantify your assets, in addition to countless other factors that you must evaluate. After these considerations, you will need to decide if you should file for bankruptcy, and if so what type of bankruptcy will be of most benefit to you and the one you will ultimately pursue.
In some instances, a corporation or individual will find during the evaluation process that a liquidating bankruptcy is not necessary, instead opting to restructure their debts in a reorganizing bankruptcy. In either scenario, it would effectively wipe out qualifying debts. Under a bankruptcy plan of reorganization, a business or individual is able to continue to operate and retain their property and assets. Alternatively, a person may find that they need to liquidate, walking away from their assets in exchange for a fresh start from their debts.
