Chapter 11 is commonly referred to as what?

• A. Business Reorganization
• B. Personal Reorganization
• C. Farm Reorganization
• D. Corporate Liquidation

Answer: (A)

Chapter 11 is the bankruptcy route designed for reorganization of a business, allowing a company to keep operating while restructuring its debts under a court-approved plan. The debtor in possession can continue running the business and work with creditors to form a reorganization plan that reorganizes obligations, renegotiates terms, and, ideally, returns the business to profitability. This focus on reorganizing a going concern is why it’s described as Business Reorganization. Other chapters address different paths: for individuals with regular income, Chapter 13 is personal reorganization; Chapter 12 handles farm-related reorganizations; Chapter 7 involves liquidation of assets.
