What should I do if the enterprise goes bankrupt and owes money?

When an enterprise goes bankrupt, the measures to deal with the arrears are as follows:

1. The creditor company shall bring a lawsuit to the court;

2. The court determines the proportion of compensation;

3. The creditor company is partially compensated;

4. After the liquidation of the bankrupt company, its debts shall be exempted.

Economic impact of enterprise closure:

1, increase the unemployment rate;

2. Affect relevant industrial chains;

3. Reduce government tax revenue;

4. It may cause financial risks.

To sum up, when an enterprise goes bankrupt, the creditor company needs to file a claim with the court, and then the court will determine the compensation ratio, so that the creditor company can get partial compensation, and after the bankrupt company completes liquidation, its remaining debts can be exempted.
