Sub Chapter V Bankruptcy Attorney In Annapolis, Maryland

What Is A Subchapter V Bankruptcy?

In 2019, Congress took a significant step to support small businesses by introducing the Small Business Reorganization Act (SBRA). This important legislation established Subchapter V of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, with the primary goal of making the process of bankruptcy more affordable for businesses facing debts of $2.7 million or less. Designed with the needs of small businesses in mind, the law became effective in February 2020. However, in light of the devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic, this law was swiftly adjusted to provide additional relief. Under the CARES Act, the debt threshold was expanded to $7.5 million, which allowed not only small businesses but also slightly larger entities that were affected by pandemic-related lockdowns to restructure their debts more effectively.
