On February 19, 2020, Congress, when enacting The Small Business Reorganization Act (“SBRA”) made it easier for “small businesses” to reorganize (as opposed to liquidating or selling their assets) and added a diligence requirement before filing “preference” actions. Essentially, the SBRA primarily created Subchapter V of the Bankruptcy Code, specifically for small businesses. Consider the modifications and specifics. Authored by Sean Williams and Harold Israel
