Division 1 Proposal for Business

DIVISION 1 PROPOSAL FOR BUSINESS

A Division 1 Proposal is a debt repayment plan under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act of Canada. A Div 1 Proposal is an option for a company struggling under too much debt - to shed some of its debt, to allow it to continue to operate in the future. A Division 1 Proposal is essentially a compromise between a commercial debtor and his or her creditors that, if approved by the creditors and the Court, becomes legally binding on all the creditors. Proposals help resolve the financial difficulties of a business and offer creditors more than they could expect to receive in a bankruptcy.
