COVID-19 Corporate Debt Restructuring vs. Bankruptcy


Corporate debt restructuring a/k/a "business debt restructuring" may be preferable to bankruptcy, as explained in Investopedia, which says: Bankruptcy costs thousands of dollars for small businesses and many times that for large corporations [and] Only a fraction of companies that seek protection from their creditors via a Chapter 11 filing emerge intact, partly due to a shift in 2005 to a regime that favored meeting financial obligations over keeping companies intact via legal protection.

FYI The greatest cost of corporate debt restructuring is the time, effort, and money spent negotiating the terms with creditors, banks, vendors, and authorities. The process can take several months and entail multiple meetings. For more information about business debt restructuring and how to avoid the tax consequences associated with “Debt Forgiveness” viz. form 1099-C Debt Cancellation, call Selig & Associates  directly at (212) 974-3435

IF YOUR BUSINESS OWES OVER $200K IN UNPAID TAXES – SELIG & ASSOCIATES CAN HELP



Selig & Associates is taking advantage of the COVID-19 crisis to avoid and defeat taxes. For years the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance has harassed and abused small businesses without the slightest bit of resistance, says David Selig of Selig & Associates

“Restaurants and bodegas have been an easy target for New York’s overly aggressive Enforcement Agents”

But when they locked down the City and crashed our economy, we saw a tremendous opportunity to “help small business-owners get out from under”. Accordingly, we devised and are implementing a bulletproof strategy that allows small businesses to legally avoid their tax debts. To this end, we are restructuring corporations and helping business-owners walk away from enforceable debts. 

“I don’t hate to say it says Selig, but the shelter-in-place orders, and our strategic tax planning, have given a lot of small business-owners a second chance”
