In today\u2019s fast-paced consumer world, it might seem easier than ever for businesses to thrive. Despite the increased spending most individuals and households have been doing, especially since the advent of online shopping, many businesses are still struggling with the debts that have existed for years on top of the new financial obligations of the technological age.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Debts like building mortgages, equipment expenses, online hosting subscriptions, credit card readers, licenses, and more are all part of running a typical business today. Because of the additional expense that technology requires and the high cost of owning a business, it\u2019s not unexpected that most would benefit greatly from debt relief. Behm Law Group, Ltd. can help you determine if filing for bankruptcy is a form of debt relief in Worthington, MN, that\u2019s right for your situation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bankruptcy as a form of debt relief can be highly effective for businesses in many different financial situations, but it\u2019s not always the right option. In some cases, filing for bankruptcy may be more detrimental because of the effect it has on your credit and the potential loss of some of your business or personal assets, especially if you want to keep your business operating as usual.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Considerations for Debt Relief from Bankruptcy<\/h2>\n

Often, however, businesses considering bankruptcy at all will likely benefit greatly from the process. To understand if you should think about bankruptcy as a viable option, there are several red flags that can give you an idea of your business\u2019s financial standing:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Long-Term Standing<\/strong>: If your income-to-debt ratios show that even a long-term income wouldn\u2019t be sufficient to rebalance your budget and cash flow your business, bankruptcy might be the right choice. Revenue is something that fluctuates throughout the year for every business, but if your bad month turns into a bad quarter, year, and so on, your long-term standing is precarious, if not nonexistent.<\/li>\n
  2. At-Risk Assets<\/strong>: If your business is a sole proprietorship or a partnership, as many small businesses are, your personal assets may be at risk if you\u2019re unable to repay your business debts. Creditors can take action to seize your personal property as well as your business assets to repay your debts. If you file for bankruptcy, you can halt any collections with the power of the automatic stay<\/a> injunctive mandates of 11 U.S.C. \u00a7362<\/u>.<\/li>\n
  3. Other Options<\/strong>: There are options outside of bankruptcy that may provide the debt relief you need. Debt consolidation or settlement, negotiating with creditors, and other options may be more suitable to your situation than bankruptcy. However, non-bankruptcy options are often uncertain and precarious because your creditors are not required to work with you and they\u2019re not required to stop collection efforts while you\u2019re trying to work with them.\u00a0 So-called \u201cdebt consolidation companies\u201d who advertise very aggressively on the internet and who purport to deal with your creditors on your behalf are especially troubling.\u00a0 They have no special influence or legal authority over your creditors and they can\u2019t make your creditors do anything at all.\u00a0 Often, the only parties who benefit from such non-bankruptcy \u201cdebt consolidation plans\u201d are the debt consolidation companies themselves.\u00a0 Often, people will pay into these plans for months and years only to have their creditors garnish their wages and freeze their bank accounts anyway.\u00a0 Often, people will not be able to get the money back that they\u2019ve paid to a debt consolidation company because the contracts they sign with such companies provide that the payments first go to satisfy the fees charged by the company before anything gets paid to creditors.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve considered all other options and still aren\u2019t finding the relief you need, it may be time to think about bankruptcy.<\/li>\n
  4. Post-Filing Plan<\/strong>: If you\u2019ve considered bankruptcy and find you\u2019re able to picture filing and establishing a long-term plan, it\u2019s likely you can gain many benefits from filing a bankruptcy case. Behm attorneys can help you build your case and create a post-filing plan for reorganization after bankruptcy is concluded.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
