RENO, NV, UNITED STATES, June 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- It's no secret that the economy is challenging, especially right now. Lately, small businesses, in particular, are really struggling to make ends meet and avoid bankruptcy.

There are two different kinds of bankruptcy, chapter 7 and chapter 11. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the option that allows for a complete liquidation of assets to repay creditors, while Chapter 11 bankruptcy focuses on reorganization, enabling the business to develop a repayment plan and potentially retain ownership of said business.

Key factors to consider before filing bankruptcy include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Exploring Alternatives: A bankruptcy attorney can also help someone explore other options apart from bankruptcy in the hopes of avoiding it and its -repercussions.
- Negotiating with creditors: Bankruptcy attorneys can negotiate with creditors to potentially reach favorable agreements.
- Ensuring compliance with legal requirements: The process of bankruptcy has complex laws and regulations that an attorney should review with an individual or small business prior to making any decisions or moving forward.
- Assessing assets and liabilities: An attorney can help you assess your business's assets and liabilities to ensure everything is accurate and complete for filing.
- Protecting personal assets: Some small business structures may put personal assets at risk in a business bankruptcy, and an attorney can strategize with an individual on how to protect them.
