What are the disadvantages of a Division 1 Proposal?
The main disadvantage of a Division I Proposal is that you are deemed bankrupt if creditors reject the proposal or if you fail to comply with the proposed terms.
The other disadvantages of a Division 1 Proposal include:
- It's more expensive than bankruptcy.
- It's often a longer process as compared to bankruptcy.
- Creditors will drive the proposal terms (Creditors can vote against and request more money to be paid as a condition of their acceptance of the proposal)
- There is no guarantee creditors will accept your initial proposal offer.
