A package deal
Article Abstract:
It usually takes nine months to two years for a bankrupt company to reestablish itself. Only 20% of all companies that file for bankruptcy, however, ever recover. A small business facing financial ruin can recover in four to nine months by using prepackaged bankruptcy. In a prepackaged bankruptcy, a company settles with creditors by providing a reorganization proposal and financial disclosure before filing for bankruptcy in court. Creditors are likely to settle out-of-court because it will take less time and will cost less than regular bankruptcy negotiations.
