what business debt and assets (if any) would be impacted by bankruptcy

"look back" requirements (periods of time during which personal or business actions have created impediments to filing for bankruptcy)
automatic stays
valuation of business assets (including good will & intellectual property) and shares
exemptions
what happens when there is personal liability for a house
and more.
For businesses that are under water and don't want to spend money on a lawyer they can't afford, this book provides all the information they need to handle their own bankruptcy filing.
