As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, more and more businesses are finding themselves in financial turmoil. Thankfully, many are eligible to file for relief under the Small Business Reorganization Act (SBRA), which has recently been improved by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
During this time of economic uncertainty, our virtual chief financial officer, Marilyn Magett, has been asked on several occasions how the new amendments to this Act can help struggling business. So, we have included a brief overview of the Act along with qualification information here:
What is SBRA?
In 2019, The Small Business Reorganization Act was passed by Congress as an alternative to the standard Chapter 11 filing for small business debtors. This year the Act has been temporarily reimagined due to COVID-19. A new Subchapter V has been added and its key advantages include its more cost-effective nature and streamlined process.
Who Qualifies?
Subchapter V requires that at least 50% of an applicant’s debt be attributed to commercial or business activity. Additionally, the debtor cannot be publicly traded, affiliated with an issuer, or have their principal activity be a single asset real estate operation. Until March, 2021, the CARES Act has temporarily increased the debt threshold from $2,725,625 to $7.5 million.
