The Subchapter V Small Business Plan of Reorganization

The Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019 (SBRA) became effective on the eve of the economic free fall stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Longleaf Law Partner’s bankruptcy law expert, Cindy G. Oliver, explains the new law in our 13-part series, Bankruptcy Buzz.

Part 7 of 13:

Unsecured creditors generally do not receive a payment on their claims in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case until a plan of reorganization is confirmed, and a secured creditor may only receive adequate protection payments prior to confirmation of the plan. Hence, the longer the period between the beginning of the bankruptcy case and the confirmation of a plan of reorganization, the more financial pain felt by the creditors.

The Small Business Reorganization Act (SBRA) enacted in February 2020, fast tracks the confirmation process by requiring a small business debtor under Subchapter V of Chapter 11 to file a plan of reorganization within 90 days. The deadline is 120 days in a traditional Chapter 11.  The bankruptcy court can extend the 90-day deadline “due to circumstances for which the debtor should not justly be held accountable.” This fast-track reorganization requires a successful debtor to proceed efficiently and hopefully provides faster monetary recovery to the creditors.
