Friend Bankrupt After Borrowing Money? What to Do Next?

At Business Formation Education (BFE), we educate individuals on how to protect themselves when personal relationships and finances intersect. Loaning money to a friend may feel like a personal favor, but if that friend files for bankruptcy, you could lose the money you’re owed.

With LegalShield, you can access legal advice that helps you navigate the bankruptcy process. An attorney can guide you through filing claims with the bankruptcy court, ensuring your rights are protected.

At BFE, we emphasize the importance of being proactive with legal protection. In situations like this, LegalShield helps by reviewing loan agreements and giving you the support needed to recover what’s owed—or at least ensure your claim is properly handled. Personal loans, especially those without formal agreements, can leave you in a vulnerable position if the borrower runs into financial trouble. With LegalShield, you have a legal team in your corner, protecting your financial interests.

Whether you’re lending money for a business venture or personal need, it’s crucial to understand that things don’t always go as planned. BFE provides educational resources to help individuals make informed decisions and have the right legal protection in place for when life takes an unexpected turn.
