Every business depends on its customers or clients for cash flow to sustain itself. In fact, their money is like the lifeblood of the business owner and the employees as well. However, just like a blockage in the windpipe or food pipe can result in severe health issues, a disruption in cash flow can also make it challenging for a business to survive.

Simply writing-off the amount that is past due is a common approach among several businesses. We see this as leaving money on the table. The primary reason for not following up on receivables is that most businesses are short-staffed, and their staff have little or no time left after their primary job responsibilities are completed. Therefore, just after a few initial follow-ups, they let go of their debtors.

Life can hit us hard anytime, leaving us sick for months and giving us several bills to look after. Or you may be unemployed for a long time and must deal with unexpected costs and bills. In such cases, we usually borrow money to keep life going. However, sometimes we can fail to pay back the amount and end up with hundreds of calls from creditors. Ultimately, they can also hire a debt collection agency to pursue the money you owe to them.

It’s often hard to persuade a bankruptcy court to grant a motion for substantial contribution. Any attorney thinking about making a motion should first ask herself two questions. First, has my work benefitted both my client and other creditors? Second, did my work result in more than an incidental benefit to the bankruptcy estate? If the answer to either question is no, then the attorney should forget about making the motion.
