See which business debts are driving each bankruptcy inquiry
Ask whether the caller is an owner or decision-maker, whether creditors are already taking action, and whether they're personally on the hook for business debt before you set a consultation.
The exact intake your business bankruptcy leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Business Bankruptcy — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified business bankruptcy lead should tell you
Business Bankruptcy covers a company's use of federal bankruptcy protection to restructure or wind down debt, typically triggered by unpaid vendor bills, payroll or tax debt, creditor lawsuits, or an owner's exposure on business obligations signed in their own name.

The questions your team needs answered
Every business bankruptcy intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you an owner, partner, officer, or authorized decision-maker for the business that may need bankruptcy help? | Confirms the person submitting the intake can actually authorize a filing, filtering out employees or non-decision-makers before you offer time. |
| Is the business located in the United States or does it have significant operations or assets in the United States? | Filters out businesses without U.S. presence or assets, which are typically outside what you can file for. |
| Is the business currently unable to pay its bills as they come due, or likely to become unable to do so soon? | Distinguishes a business already unable to pay its bills from one exploring options preemptively, which changes how quickly you need to respond. |
| Are creditors taking action against the business (for example, lawsuits, collections, repossession, foreclosure, or wage/bank levies)? | Active creditor action such as lawsuits or repossession signals real time pressure that should move the lead up your queue. |
| Does the business have debts that are hard to manage (such as loans, credit cards, vendor bills, rent, taxes, or payroll obligations)? | The specific mix of debt types (payroll, taxes, vendor bills) shapes which bankruptcy chapter or strategy is realistic before you even speak with the caller. |
| Do you want to explore options to keep the business operating while dealing with its debts? | Signals whether the caller wants reorganization versus liquidation, which determines the type of consultation to schedule. |
| Are you also concerned about personal liability for business debts (for example, because you signed a personal guarantee)? | Flags owners who signed personally for business debt, so you know upfront whether the consultation needs to cover their own liability, not just the company's. |

Built for business bankruptcy workflows
| Cliont capability | Business Bankruptcy application |
|---|---|
| Weighted scoring engine | Weights the decision-maker, jurisdiction, unpaid-bills, creditor-action, and unmanageable-debt answers most heavily, so a business already facing lawsuits or repossession surfaces above a general inquiry. |
| Structured intake branching | Separates the business's ability to pay its debts from the owner's own concern about personal liability, so both issues are on record before the consultation instead of surfacing mid-call. |
| CRM routing | Sends qualified business bankruptcy inquiries — flagged by decision-maker status and creditor pressure — directly into your CRM instead of a shared inbox. |
| Lead scoring bands | Groups inquiries into priority tiers based on how many high-value signals (creditor action, unmanageable debt, decision-maker status) are present, so you can triage before offering a free consultation. |
Common business bankruptcy lead scenarios
Owner facing creditor lawsuits
A business owner reports active collections or a repossession threat alongside unpayable bills — the intake flags this as high value given the creditor-action and unmanageable-debt signals.
Business wants to keep operating
The caller wants to restructure rather than close, which points toward a reorganization conversation rather than liquidation, and the intake captures that intent directly.
Owner personally on the hook
An owner who signed personally for a business loan or lease is worried about their own exposure, not just the company's — the intake separately captures that personal-liability concern so you can scope the consultation correctly.
Employee inquiring, not a decision-maker
Someone without ownership or signing authority submits the form on the company's behalf; the intake surfaces this so you know to redirect the conversation to an actual decision-maker before booking time.
Business outside the U.S.
A company with no U.S. presence or assets inquires about filing; the intake flags the jurisdiction answer so you're not scheduling a consultation you can't act on.

Business Bankruptcy lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake know if the person filling it out can actually authorize a filing?
The first catalog question asks directly whether the person is an owner, partner, officer, or other authorized decision-maker, and a 'no' answer is weighted low so you can spot inquiries from employees or other non-authorized contacts before booking a consultation.
Does the intake distinguish between a business that wants to close versus one that wants to keep running?
Yes — one catalog question asks directly whether the business wants to keep operating while addressing its debts, which helps you route the lead toward a reorganization-style conversation versus a liquidation-focused one.
What tells me a lead is urgent versus just exploring options?
The intake captures whether the business can currently pay its bills and whether creditors are already taking action (lawsuits, repossession, levies), both weighted heavily so leads facing active creditor pressure surface as higher priority.
Can the intake flag owners who are personally exposed on business debt?
Yes — a dedicated catalog question asks whether the caller is also concerned about personal liability for business debts, such as debts they signed for personally, so you know before the call whether personal exposure needs to be addressed alongside the business matter.
Does the intake handle Chapter 11 or Subchapter V differently from this page?
This intake is built for the general business bankruptcy inquiry; if you separately handle Chapter 11 Reorganization or Subchapter V Small Business as distinct workflows, those have their own dedicated intake pages you can route toward instead.
What happens to leads where the business has no U.S. presence?
The jurisdiction question is weighted so a 'no' answer scores the lead lower, letting you filter out inquiries you likely can't take before they consume consultation time.
