Non-bankruptcy Alternatives
Compositions and extensions - A "composition" is a contract between the debtor and two or more creditors in which the creditors agree to take a partial payment in full satisfaction of their claims. An "extension" is a contract between the debtor and two or more creditors in which the creditors agree to extend the time for payment of their claims. An agreement may be both a composition and an extension; in other words, an agreement to accept less money over a longer period of time.
There is no requirement that all of the debtor's creditors agree to a composition or extension, but most of them must voluntarily support it for it to work. Creditors that do not agree to the workout are not affected by it and remain entitled to pursue other remedies to collect the debts owed to them. Although they can theoretically proceed to recover the full amount due, they forfeit the right to benefit automatically from whatever partial payment the composition would have allowed had they taken part.
Assignment for the benefit of creditors - An assignment may be a simpler and cheaper alternative to bankruptcy for a small business that wishes to be liquidated. The debtor assigns all nonexempt property to an assignee who acts as a fiduciary for the benefit of creditors. The assignee liquidates the assets and distributes the proceeds pro rata among creditors who have filed claims with the assignee. An assignment is voluntary, but all creditors must accept it.
