Expert Advice When You Need It Most

Can i file a ch. 11 bk for my business, if i filed a ch.7 personal 5 to 6 yrs. ago.

Asked over 2 years ago - San Diego, CA

I am a licensed contractor and like so many of us in this economy am on the verge of going belly up. The problem is my wife and I found it necessary about 5 1/2 years ago to file a ch. 7 bk for our personal bills. We were able also to take care of my business debts@ the same time.
Now most of what I owe is through my business and am wondering if a ch. 11 is an option @ this time.

Additional information
Or is a ch. 13 filing an option.

Chapter 13 may be an option for you depending on what type of business you operate. If a corporation and you want to continue operating then you need to look at chapter 11 but if you are a sole proprietor then you should consider chapter 13 options.
