The Small Business Reorganization Act was enacted in March 2020 and added Subchapter V to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Subchapter V Bankruptcy provides a streamlined process for small business to get a Plan of Reorganization approved over the objections of creditors. Because the process is streamlined, it is more affordable than the typical Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.
Subchapter V requires the debtor to submit a Plan of Reorganization within 90 days of filing. This Plan of Reorganization(which lasts 3 to 5 years) can restructure loans through lower interest rates, longer amortization schedules, reducing principal balances, and even eliminating certain debts. While a Trustee is assigned in a Subchapter V Bankruptcy, the debtor retains control of the assets and operations.
