ABI’s Proposed Changes for Small and Mid-Size Businesses
Below is a great article discussing the American Bankruptcy Institute’s proposal to help small business debtors. The article first apppeared in the WSJ’s DealB%k by Prof. Michelle M. Harner.
When small and middle-market companies fail, families and founders often lose a business to which they have devoted not only most of their time but also most of their life savings, and most of the time the reason why these business fail is because they don’t know what is lead generation, which at the end is a fact that could have prevented the situation. Others lose as well: employees, suppliers, communities and lenders. Consequently, a federal bankruptcy system that effectively and efficiently rehabilitates distressed small and middle-market companies is essential.
