As for continuing your daily operations, in most cases, the debtor will keep possession and control of its assets while undergoing a reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in Pennsylvania
Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a form of bankruptcy reorganization. Individuals, corporations and partnerships can file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In fact, it is the usual choice for large and even small businesses seeking to restructure debt as there are no debt limits.
Benefits of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
There are several benefits of filing for bankruptcy under this code. First, the debtor usually remains in possession of its assets, and operates the business under the supervision of the United States Bankruptcy Court and for the benefit of creditors.
A Trustee may be appointed, however, if the debtor’s management skills are lacking during the term of the plan. It is important to note that a plan must be approved or affirmed by creditors, whose “votes” and “class” is based upon the characteristics of their claims.
If a plan cannot get the “votes” to confirm a plan, there are other alternatives, but the likelihood of success may decrease. Chapter 11 bankruptcy plans tend to be very flexible. In other words, each case is unique; there are certainly no “routine” Chapter 11 cases.
Given the complexity of crafting and executing a successful Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, it is highly recommended that creative and experienced counsel be retained for such litigation.
