A customer or supplier filed for bankruptcy yesterday. You’ll find out on Friday.
Business bankruptcy filings are public the moment they’re submitted to federal court. But without monitoring, you find out from a news story, a bounced check, or a lawyer’s letter — weeks later.
Suppliers go dark without warning
A Chapter 11 filing from a key supplier means your orders are in limbo and their employees are uncertain. You need 48 hours — not two weeks — to find alternatives.
Outstanding invoices become claims
If a customer files Chapter 7, your unpaid invoices become unsecured creditor claims. Filing on time matters — most creditors miss the bar date entirely.
Competitors’ bankruptcies are opportunities
A competitor’s Chapter 11 filing creates a window: their customers are nervous, their contracts may be rejected, and their staff is looking for exits. Early visibility changes your response.
PACER is expensive and hard to use
Federal court records are technically public — via PACER, at $0.10/page. Monitoring 94 federal districts for relevant filings is a full-time job most businesses can’t afford.
Every business bankruptcy filing, plain English, the day it’s filed.
Our agent monitors federal bankruptcy court filings daily, covering Chapter 7 liquidations and Chapter 11 reorganizations — summarized with debtor info, liabilities, and what the filing means.
Operations: 34 restaurant locations in 8 states — expected to continue operating during restructuring
What it means: Leases may be rejected (landlords: file protective claims). Existing vendor contracts could be assumed or rejected — suppliers should monitor the docket for their contract status.
✅ If you’re a creditor: File a Proof of Claim before the bar date. Contact a bankruptcy attorney within 72 hours to protect your position.
What it means: Liquidation — business will be wound down. Unsecured creditors unlikely to recover more than cents on the dollar. A trustee has been appointed.
✅ If you’re owed money: You have ~90 days to file a Proof of Claim with the trustee. Don’t wait.
Built for creditors, suppliers, competitors, and lenders.
