What is Chapter 11 bankruptcy?

By Florida Law Advisers, P.A. |

In Chapter 11 bankruptcy, a company negotiates with its creditors and stakeholders to develop a Chapter 11 plan. The Chapter 11 plan allows businesses to alter existing contracts and loan arrangements to reduce the amount owed and extend the repayment period.
