READ MORECorporations financial dilemmas may not realize there is an alternative to filing for bankruptcy, a corporate dissolution. An Illinois company could file a dissolution with the Secretary of State. The dissolution will then be sent to all creditors, and the corporation is obligated to wrap up its business obligation. A corporation may find it advantageous to file a corporate dissolution over a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing. Our attorney is experienced in guiding corporations through the bankruptcy and dissolutions process as a former bankruptcy trustee.
Corporations can also assign assets for the benefit of the creditors, which is known as an assignment. Designating assets for creditors allows a company to select a fiduciary and allocate assets to that person. The fiduciary then sells the assets and distributes the profits under state law so that creditors may receive their repayment. An assignment may be more flexible than a Chapter 7 bankruptcy since the costs are lower for your business. If your business is facing severe financial hardships or liquidation, you need the experience of 30 plus years on your side. Contact John H. Redfield & Associates today for a consultation. We are ready to serve you in the Chicago, Lake County, Cook County, and Northwest Suburbs areas.
