Effective February 19, 2020 the Small Business Reorganization Act (SBRA) is a way for small businesses to take advantage of a streamlined process for debt relief and reorganization. Under the SBRA, individuals are also eligible under certain circumstances. With the recent passage of the CARES Act, the combined total debt limit has increased to $7.5M. Reorganizing under the SBRA is less expensive than a typical Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, and does away difficult roadblocks such as The Absolute Priority Rule. The SBRA could be the relief needed to reorganize your personal or business affairs, keep your properties, and get past this devastating time.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows for an arrangement where the debtor pays back all debt, on an agreed-upon percentage, in the span of 3-5 years. Certain types of debt, such as mortgages, don’t apply for this type of plan. However, if approved, this type of bankruptcy allows debtors to keep their assets as long as they continue to make their payments.
