Subchapter V and Chapter 11 Plan

David Cox, a bankruptcy attorney, discusses Subchapter V of Chapter 11, highlighting its benefits for small business debtors. Key points include the 90-day deadline for plan filing, which can be extended if necessary, and the absence of a disclosure statement, reducing costs. Subchapter V plans must include a business history, liquidation analysis, and detailed projections. It allows for mortgage modifications on the debtor's principal residence if used for the business. Plans can be confirmed consensually or through cram-down, with disposable income defined broadly to include business operation expenses. Only the debtor can file or modify the plan, adding to their bargaining power.
