Is a Business Bankruptcy in Your Business’s Future?
If your business is having issues, business bankruptcy might be on your mind. But before you go ahead, there are some things you should know.
Business Failures
No one likes to think about it, but there’s a chance your business just plain won’t catch on. Maybe no one will buy your products or services, or expenses like rent could drive you out of business, or mismanagement could do your business in.
According to the SBA, about 20% of all businesses fail within their first year. About half survive for five years. But at about the eighth year or so, survival rates tend to flatten out.
Business Failures and the Economy
Before Covid-19, a bad economy didn’t really impact survival rates. Per the SBA, a boom or a bust economy didn’t really change things. But in July of 2020, per the New York Times, the number of small business failures was likely over 100,000.
Business Failures and Industries
Before Covid-19, the SBA said industries didn’t matter too much when it came to business failure rates. But food services and hotels tended to do better then. Not so during the age of Covid-19. Lockdowns and the need to work from home have taken their toll.
Hotels, restaurants, bars, amusement parks, and casinos
Sporting events, the performing arts, and scenic transportation (boat tours, etc.)
Home furnishings stores and clothing stores
Motion picture and sound recording
Dental offices, and
Laundry and other personal services
Business Failures: The Reasons Why
Before Covid-19, FreshBooks said these are the top reasons why a business might fail:
Not enough demand
Lack of cash
Dysfunctional team
Competition
Pricing issues
Business Futures During Covid-19
According to the National Academy of Sciences, a July 2020 survey of over 5,000 small businesses (not just science-based) revealed, if a business had more cash on hand, its ownership was more confident they would stay in business. Then again, nearly all of the entrepreneurs surveyed believed the crisis would be over before January 1, 2021.
Business Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy is a process a business goes through in federal court. It is designed to help a business eliminate or repay its debt under the guidance and protection of the bankruptcy court. Business bankruptcies are often described as liquidations or reorganizations. This depending on the type of bankruptcy an entrepreneur takes.
Corporations and partnerships are legal business entities separate from their owners, although corporations are more truly separate than partnerships. Either type of structure commonly will file of Chapter 7 (bankruptcy protection), or Chapter 11 (reorganization). The chapters refer to the US Bankruptcy Code.
This one may be the best choice when the business has no viable future. It is typically for when the debts of the business are so overwhelming that restructuring them is not feasible. Chapter 7 bankruptcy can be for sole proprietorships, partnerships, or corporations. It is also appropriate when the business does not have any substantial assets.
If a business is a sole proprietorship, and an extension of an owner’s skills, it usually does not pay to reorganize it. Hence Chapter 7 is appropriate.
But before a Chapter 7 bankruptcy gets approval, the applicant is subject to a means test. If their income is over a certain level, their application does not get approval. But if a Chapter 7 bankruptcy gets approval, the business is dissolved.
Working with a Trustee in a Chapter 7 Business Bankruptcy
In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a trustee is appointed by the bankruptcy court. The trustee’s job is to take possession of the assets of the business and distribute them among the creditors. The order in which creditors are paid can depend on the type of debt (secured vs. unsecured).
After the assets are distributed and the trustee is paid, a sole proprietor receives a “discharge” at the end of the case. This means that the owner of the business is released from any obligation for the debts. But partnerships and corporations do not receive a discharge.
Chapter 11: Business Reorganization
Chapter 11 may be a better choice for businesses that may have a realistic chance to turn things around. It is usually for partnerships and corporations. It is also for sole proprietorships if their income level is too high to qualify for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
Chapter 11 is a plan where a company reorganizes and continues in business under a court-appointed trustee. The company files a detailed plan of reorganization outlining how it will deal with its creditors. The company can terminate contracts and leases, and recover assets. And it can repay a portion of its debts, while discharging others to return to profitability.
The business presents the plan to its creditors who will vote on the plan. If the court finds the plan is fair and equitable, it will approve the plan. Reorganization plans provide for payments to creditors over some time. Chapter 11 bankruptcies are very complex and not all of them succeed. It usually takes over a year to confirm a plan.
Chapter 11 and the Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019
The Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019 enacted a new subchapter V of Chapter 11. The act went into effect as of February 20, 2020. This subchapter of Chapter 11 seems to favor the side of the applicant for business bankruptcy. But it only applies if the applicant wants it to apply.
For example, subchapter V does not require the appointment of a committee of creditors. And it doesn’t require for creditors to approve a court plan.
Per the US Department of Justice, the act: “imposes shorter deadlines for completing the bankruptcy process, allows for greater flexibility in negotiating restructuring plans with creditors, and provides for a private trustee who will work with the small business debtor and its creditors to facilitate the development of a consensual plan of reorganization.”
Chapter 13: Adjustment of Debts for Individuals with Regular Income
Since a sole proprietorship is an extension of its one owner, the owner is responsible for all assets and liabilities of the firm. It is most common for a sole proprietorship to take bankruptcy by filing for Chapter 13. This is a reorganization bankruptcy.
Chapter 13 is for small businesses when a reorganization is the goal instead of liquidation. The entrepreneur files a repayment plan with the bankruptcy court. This details how they are going to repay their debts. But note that Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 bankruptcies are very different for businesses.
Chapter 13 is vital for individuals whose personal assets are tied up with their business assets. This is because they can avoid problems like losing a home if they file Chapter 13, instead of Chapter 7. And Chapter 13 lets a business stay in business and pay its debts, while Chapter 7 does not.
Preventing Bankruptcy
You can’t prevent every bankruptcy. But for the ones where a lack of cash is the issue, getting access to more money can pull a business out of the hole. Many entrepreneurs may not even realize where they can get cash.
Preventing Bankruptcy: Access to More Cash
Entrepreneurs may feel their only options are to go to a big, traditional bank, or turning to their family and friends for a handout. But it doesn’t have to be that way! There are all sorts of alternative ways to get money. Let us help you navigate them and keep YOUR business afloat.
Many businesses fail within the first five years of operation. There are many causes, and the Covid-19 crisis has only made things worse. There are three forms of bankruptcy a business can file for, although Chapter 13 is just for sole proprietors. Chapters 7 and 11 are for sole proprietors, partnerships, and corporations
For corporations and partnerships, the choice between Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 is the choice between liquidation and reorganization. For both Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 bankruptcies, there’s the appointment of a trustee. But in Chapter 7, the trustee distributes remaining assets among the creditors. And in Chapter 11, the trustee works with a plan to reorganize the business in order to try to save it. We can help you avoid a business bankruptcy if a lack of cash is your problem. Let’s weather the storm together.
The age of the smartphone opened up a whole new window for businesses to connect with their customers in an interactive way using apps.
Because apps allow customers to interact with businesses from anywhere at any time, apps quickly became popular.
Unfortunately, apps are not as exciting to consumers as they were in their early days. This has resulted in app retention rates declining rapidly and, for some brands, their revenue has declined with them.
That’s why progressive web apps are becoming increasingly popular.
What Are Progressive Web Apps?
Progressive web apps (PWAs) are regular web applications/pages designed to look and function like native mobile applications. PWAs use features of web browsers and advanced enhancement strategies to give users a native app-like experience on any device.
In short, a progressive web app fuses the look, feel, and ease of use of an app but with the easy coding of a website.
The Difference Between Native, Hybrid, and Progressive Apps
What’s the difference between native, hybrid, and progressive web apps?
Native Apps
coded to run on a specific platform
require separate codebases and related overhead
can use a device’s native capabilities and hardware to the fullest
Hybrid Apps
rely on frameworks (like Ionic, Cordova, React Native, etc.) instead of programming in the platform’s programming language
can share (at least partially) codebase in most scenarios
can use most of a device’s native capabilities and hardware
Progressive Web Apps
a hybrid between websites and apps
designed to run a single codebase for all platforms (web, mobile, desktop)
limited access to a device’s native capabilities, but enough for most use cases
Advantages of Progressive Web Apps
Despite being limited in tapping into a device’s native capabilities, are there any advantages of using progressive web apps?
There certainly are. Here are some of the most prominent:
Reliability: They can be used offline and provide a stable experience despite network conditions.
Security: User information is secure on PWAs as every progressive web app must have SSL certificates.
Speed: Thanks to caching through service workers and tapping into a device’s resources, progressive web apps offer a fast and seamless experience.
Engagement: PWAs integrate well with the web and devices, making them easy to interact with.
Another significant advantage of PWAs is users can save them on their home screens without the hassle of downloading. This allows the PWA to load faster the next time it’s used.
Why Should I Use Progressive Web Apps?
One reason users love apps is they generally offer better experiences than web applications. However, developing and maintaining native apps is a lot of work, not to mention the expenses involved.
If your users use different platforms (Android, iOS, etc.), you have to code your app for each platform.
PWAs, however, don’t require you to code for each platform. They were designed with the philosophy of “code once, use everywhere.” Once you code your PWA, it can be used in-browser (as a website or web app), on desktops, and on mobile devices.
This often results in better performance, improved retention rates, and, ultimately, an affordable application offering your users a positive user experience (UX).
When Should You Use a Progressive Web App?
One reason brands develop native apps is to cater to users who return to their websites to perform specific actions frequently. Apps make it easier for these functions to be performed without going to the brand’s website. They also have characteristics that make them fun to use.
You can use progressive apps in the same situations native apps are used—for applications you expect your visitors to visit frequently.
Other times you should consider using a progressive web app are when:
You don’t have the budget for a full-fledged app.
You need to get to market fast.
Proper indexing on search engines is crucial.
Cross-platform compatibility is essential to your business.
You need to reach a wider audience.
If you meet any of the criteria above, chances are you need a progressive app.
Progressive Web App Examples
Now that you know what a progressive web app is, let’s look at some examples.
Uber
Uber, the ride-hailing company, saw an opportunity to expand their customer base by creating a progressive web app to make it easier and faster to request rides. The PWA works well regardless of location, network speed, or device.
Flipboard
For people who love keeping abreast of news and trends across the globe, Flipboard is a must-have. To increase their reach and enable users to have access to their favorite online magazine, Flipboard developed a PWA.
Reduced data usage enables users to enjoy a fast, sleek experience even in places with poor network coverage.
Starbucks
In a bid to drive more online orders, Starbucks invested in a progressive web app. Even when offline, customers can browse the menu and add items to their carts. Once back online, they can then place their orders.
Any industry can use progressive web apps. If you can serve your customers via a website or an app, you can also serve them using a PWA.
9 Reasons to Use a Progressive Web App
Thanks to the many advantages that PWAs offer, there are myriad reasons why you should use one. Let’s look at nine of the most common ones.
1. You Don’t Have a Developed App Yet
Because progressive web apps are easy and cheaper to develop than typical apps, you could have yours running in no time. If you’re starting from scratch, you’re probably better off starting with a progressive web app as it will get to market faster.
Since it has most of your website’s core functionalities, you’ll still be able to offer your customers good service and a positive user experience.
2. Reduce Bounce Rates
One of the main reasons for high bounce rates is a sluggish website or app. Users don’t want to wait long for a page to load.
That’s another great reason to use progressive web apps.
Progressive web apps help reduce bounce rates as they offer users a fast and seamless experience. Take, for example, Superbalist. By implementing a progressive web app, they reduced their bounce rate by a whopping 21 percent.
3. Increase Time Spent on Pages
If you want to increase the time users spend on your pages, a progressive web app is one way you can do that.
Users will often abandon your page if it loads slowly. Because a progressive web app is lightweight and doesn’t put a lot of demand on a device’s resources, it loads pages fast.
Transitioning to another page is also seamless.
This can result in users spending more time on your pages. For example, Pinterest invested in a progressive web app for mobile experiences, which resulted in time spent on page increasing by 40 percent.
4. Increase Speed and Reliability
Because of the lack of heavy coding and service workers’ use, progressive web apps can load information faster than traditional websites. Since fast loading times can be the difference between a conversion and a drop-off, offering users a quick way to interact with your brand is essential.
Apart from speed, PWAs are generally more reliable than both traditional websites and apps. By design, there are fewer things that could go wrong. Because they’re network-independent and platform agnostic, they should work every time on any platform.
5. Increase Conversions
One of the main drivers of conversions in today’s highly competitive landscape is UX. Progressive web apps rank highly among platforms that offer the best UX.
If increasing conversions is important to you, take a cue from AliExpress, who increased their conversion rate for first-time users by 104 percent.
6. You Want to Optimize for Search Engines
Search engine optimization (SEO) is one of the main pillars of digital marketing. Every marketer is always looking for strategies to make their brand more visible on search engine results pages (SERPs) and drive organic traffic to their website.
This is one area in which progressive web apps outshine native apps.
Native apps, because they’re hosted on the users’ devices, aren’t discoverable online. However, because progressive apps are essentially websites, they’re seen by search engines.
But discoverability is not the only advantage PWAs have over native apps. Other advantages include that progressive web apps are:
indexable
fast
linkable
designed with UX in mind
If you want to boost your SEO while giving your users a native app-like experience, a progressive web app may be the solution.
7. You Want to Focus on Mobile Users
Research shows that mobile devices drive 65 percent of all e-commerce traffic. If you’re in an industry that relies heavily on mobile traffic, you’ll undoubtedly want to leverage progressive web apps.
Because your users don’t have to download an app, you could enjoy better retention and engagement rates.
While progressive web apps work on any platform, they’re notably useful on mobile devices. Mobile devices have less ability to load large websites or heavy apps, which results in slow load speeds and poor UX.
Progressive web apps solve this problem by offering users the same experience without demanding their device’s resources.
8. Improve Client Retention
There are close to three million apps on Google’s Play store. Unfortunately, for most of the apps downloaded, only 25 percent of users use any given app after the day they downloaded it.
App abandonment results in a huge waste of time and resources for the developers and businesses sponsoring those apps’ development.
Again, this is where progressive web apps can save the day.
A few reasons why progressive web apps help retain users more are:
Easy onboarding: You can simply add the progressive web app to your home screen. No registration is required.
No need to download: Because there’s no need to download a PWA, users don’t have to worry about storage space on their devices. Many apps get uninstalled because of this.
Push notifications: Like those from native apps, these keep users informed of any updates in your business.
Progressive web apps are an excellent way of keeping your customers engaged with your brand.
9. No Monetization Limitations
One of the most significant limitations of native apps is that Google or Apple must process all in-app financial transactions. No third parties are allowed. For some businesses, this arrangement can be limiting.
With progressive web apps, on the other hand, you’re not bound by such regulations. You can choose any payment processor of your choice, just as you would on your website. You’re also able to monetize your PWA in any way you wish.
Conclusion
Progressive web apps are the future of web browsing. More than that, they could be the future of customer experience in the e-commerce world.
That’s why you must invest in developing one for your businesses.
With many advantages ranging from ease of development to improved SEO to creating exceptional user experiences, investing in a progressive web app may be worth the time.
Have you developed a progressive web app for your business?
Considering building an app? You’re in good company.
The mobile app industry is expected to be worth more than $407 billion (yes, with a B) by 2026.
Meanwhile, the average person has more than 80 apps on their phone. That represents a ton of opportunities for app builders.
However, if you think creating an app is an easy way to get rich, you are setting yourself up for failure. Building an app requires research, hard work, and a willingness to dive in and learn.
Luckily, there are tons of resources to get you started—including this guide. Below, I’ll walk you through how to build out your app idea and then share five resources to help you launch your app.
How to Build Out Your App Idea
Like any business, creating an app requires laying the groundwork before launch. Here’s a five-step guide for getting ready to launch your app, including how to do your research, ways to monetize your app, and what to include in your business plan.
Build an App Step 1: Do Market Research
Before you dive into creating your app, you first need to get a lay of the land. Who is your target audience? What other apps offer similar features or functionality? How does your app stand apart?
Start by creating a buyer persona map, which will help you understand who your audience is and what they want. Use this information to create a detailed sales plan, decide what features to include, and choose where to market your app.
Then, perform a competitive analysis to understand your competitors. The information you gain from this will be critical as you build and grow your app. Focus on what current apps do well and what they don’t. The areas where they fail can present opportunities for you to improve and take over part of their market.
For example, if your goal is to build an app that offers workout and diet recommendations, take the time to download similar apps and read their reviews. What features do people ask for, and what features do they dislike? Who is using these apps? How are they monetized?
Be thorough—you’ll use this information in the next few steps.
Build an App Step 2: Decide How to Monetize Your App
There are several ways to make money from an app. The right choice for your app likely depends on your industry, target audience, and the type of app you create. For example, games are often monetized by ads and in-app purchases, while dating apps generally charge a monthly subscription fee.
Consider each of the following monetization methods to decide which is right for your app:
Ads: Create a free app and earn money by selling ads in your app. Duolingo uses this model, though they also offer a paid plan.
In-app purchase: Provide a free app and then allow users to purchase add-ons, like Pokemon Go does.
Freemium: Give users access to a limited plan for free and then charge them to access all the features, like the meditation app Mindfulness does.
One-time payment: Charge a one-time fee to access the app. Just keep in mind you won’t have a continuing income stream for updates, redesigns, and marketing.
Monthly subscription: Charge a small fee every month for access to the app. This helps you maintain a steady stream of income, making it easier to pay salaries and invest in marketing.
Many apps use multiple monetization methods. For example, you might offer a limited free plan and then charge a monthly subscription fee to access all features. You might even use ads to monetize the free plan and offer a paid plan that is ad-free.
There are pros and cons to each monetization method. Some users might be annoyed by too many ads or hate paying for subscription services. See what other apps in your industry do, but don’t be afraid to break the mold by trying out a different method.
Build an App Step 3: Create a Business Plan
Most people assume building an app is all about coding, but the real work actually starts long before you create your first line of code (or before you begin building it if you use an app builder).
After you get to know your audience and decide how to monetize your app, take the time to create a business plan. This plan should guide your first few years in business and keep you committed to your app’s core purpose.
Executive summary: A brief outline of your company, what you will offer, and basic information about your leadership team, location, and plans for growth.
Company description: A detailed guide covering what problem your business will solve, who your app will serve, and what competitive advantages your app offers.
Market analysis: A summary of your market research that covers what your app’s strengths are, trends you take advantage of, and how your app stacks up against others in the same industry.
Structure and management: An explanation of who’s in charge of your business and how your company is structured. Are you creating a C corp or an LLC, or are you a sole proprietor? Include a list of key leaders, their CVs and resumes, and even an outline of the benefits each person brings to the table.
Offering: A description of what your app does and how it benefits customers. Include plans for patent filings or copyright, if applicable.
Market and sales plans: An outline of your marketing strategy and how it will adjust over time. Cover how you plan to attract and keep customers, the sales process, and where you’ll focus your marketing efforts.
Financial projections: Information about your costs, where that money will come from, and prospective profits. Costs of creating an app may be low (especially using the app tools we’ll cover in the next section), but you’ll still need money for things like web hosting, paid ads, etc. Forecast sales for the first year, five years, and ten years, and make sure to explain how you reached those numbers and outline where funding will come from.
Build an App Step 4: Create the App
Now that you’ve laid the groundwork, it’s time to actually create your app. This might feel a little overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. You have three main options for building your app. Let’s explore the pros and cons of each one.
Code the App Yourself
If you are technologically savvy, you may be able to code the app yourself. Make sure you have a deep understanding of coding or the patience to learn.
Pros:
cheap (it only costs your own time)
full control over features, coding platforms, etc.
Cons:
requires a deep understanding of coding
time-consuming
Hire an App Builder
Hiring an app builder might be costly, but it could help you get the app to market faster than coding it yourself.
Pros:
launch faster
no need to learn coding languages
Cons:
can be expensive
less control over features
Use an App Building Tool
Remember when building a website required expensive programs and in-depth coding skills? Now you can build a website with just a few clicks. App building tools offer the same functionality for apps.
Pros:
faster and easier than coding or hiring an app builder
likely cheaper than hiring someone to build your app
get to market faster
Cons:
limited by the app builder’s functionality
have to pay to use most (though they are typically affordable)
Build an App Step 5: Launch & Submit to App Stores
Once your app is built, you’ll need to test it before launch. Ask a few friends to download the app and tell you what you think. Consider using a mobile UX testing tool to see how users navigate your app and make adjustments before you launch.
Don’t forget to optimize for app SEO! This will help you rank higher so people actually find your app.
5 Resources to Help You Build Your App

Can you develop excellent service credit score if you have negative individual credit rating? The solution is of course … yet with a couple of cautions.
Organization credit scores records and also individual credit history records are typically totally different data sources for lawful factors. There are some exemptions in terms of just how independent that info might be:
— If you are running as a single owner or Limited Liability Company, it is hard to divide your individual and also organization credit rating. A company is a far better framework to construct an entirely independent service credit score record.
— Experian markets a credit rating that is a mix of business proprietor’s individual credit rating and also business’ credit report.

They would unavoidably skip on the company credit report lines,” claims Erik Salmon, Director of Business Credit Services for Innovative Business Services (IBS) and also a seasoned company credit history trainer.
