Can You Include Business Debt in a Personal Bankruptcy?

Yes you can. Many struggling small business owners will turn to bankruptcy to get business debts discharged, and sometimes, to minimize financial liability when closing down or liquidating a small business.

Further more, if more than fifty percent of your debt is tied to your business, you can file for chapter 7 without having to pass the means test. This means that you can get around the income requirements for chapter 7 and avoid a chapter 13 and the associated payment plan.
