Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors
When we serve as the Assignee in an Assignments for the Benefit of Creditors (ABCs), Force 10 takes on the problems and risks for an insolvent business. We sell the assets and wind down the company’s affairs, protecting creditors’ interests while keeping them informed.
ABCs are based on state law, not the federal bankruptcy code, and vary by state. Where laws favor out-of-court dissolutions, an ABC with a fiduciary as the assignee, works well for closely-held entities with secured or unsecured debt. The process resembles a Chapter 7 bankruptcy without court oversight.
