Starting over, heritage, small business bankruptcy and the sinking feeling in your stomach. America has a long story of starting over and fresh starts. That’s part of our heritage, from the Pilgrims tothe rugged individualists of the Old West and Alaska. But it an leave a sinking feeling in our guts, especially nerve wracking when it was not our choice to start over. As bad as it might sound, bankruptcy can provide an orderly process for you and your small business to figure out a way to hang on or to start over. Part of the heritage that you will leave your kids.
