Chapter 11 bankruptcy is the formal process that allows debtors and creditors to resolve the problem of the debtor's financial shortcomings through a reorganization plan. Accordingly, the central goal of chapter 11 is to create a viable economic entity by reorganizing the debtor's debt structure.
Both Chapters 11 and 13 bankruptcy provide debt reorganization solutions for people struggling financially.

Chapter 11: Key Differences. Like Chapter 7, Chapter 11 requires the appointment of a trustee. However, rather than selling off all assets to pay back creditors, the trustee supervises the assets of the debtor and allows business to continue.
