Chapter 12 intake that captures active farm operations up front
The intake asks whether the farming or fishing operation is still active, whether the debt is tied to that operation, and whether payments are falling behind, then collects debt documentation so only in-scope Chapter 12 cases move forward.

The questions your team needs answered
Every chapter 12 family farmer or fisherman intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you an individual (or a married couple) who runs a farming or commercial fishing operation? | Confirms the lead actually runs a farming or commercial fishing operation, which is the core eligibility gate for Chapter 12. |
| Is your farming or fishing operation still active (not permanently shut down)? | An inactive operation signals the case may no longer fit Chapter 12's ongoing-business focus, which is why it's treated as an urgent detail to clarify. |
| Do you have significant debts related to your farming or fishing operation (like loans, equipment, land, fuel, feed, or suppliers)? | Chapter 12 relief is tied to debt from the operation itself, so this separates in-scope farm or fishing debt from general consumer debt. |
| Are you behind on payments or expecting you will not be able to keep up with them in the next few months? | Payment delinquency shows how time-sensitive the case is, helping you prioritize which leads need a consultation soonest. |
| Do you want to keep your farm or fishing business and try to repay debts over time instead of shutting down? | Chapter 12 is a reorganization chapter, so a lead who doesn't want to keep operating and repay over time may be better suited elsewhere. |
| Are you currently living in the United States or do you have your main home or main business in the United States? | US residency or business location is a jurisdictional requirement for filing, so a 'no' answer flags the lead as out of scope. |
| Have you filed for bankruptcy in the last 8 years? | A recent prior filing can affect strategy and eligibility, so it's scored lower to prompt manual review instead of an automatic pass. |

Built for chapter 12 family farmer or fisherman workflows
| Cliont capability | Chapter 12 Family Farmer Or Fisherman application |
|---|---|
| Conditional branching | If a lead answers that they don't run a farming or commercial fishing operation, the intake stops deepening the debt questions and routes it as low fit rather than walking them through the full Chapter 12 questionnaire. |
| Weighted lead scoring | Active operation status, operation-related debt, and payment delinquency are combined into a single score so you can tell an urgent, in-scope farm case from a borderline one at a glance. |
| Document capture | Debt schedules and operation financial documentation are collected as part of the intake so your firm isn't starting the first consultation from a blank file. |
| Manual review flag | A prior bankruptcy filing within 8 years doesn't get silently scored down and forgotten; it's flagged so someone on your team looks at it before the consultation is booked. |
Common chapter 12 family farmer or fisherman lead scenarios
Active farm facing loan default
An active farming operation with equipment and land loans is behind on payments and wants to reorganize rather than shut down, which pushes the score into high-priority territory.
Fishing debt tied to vessel financing
A commercial fishing operation carries debt from boat financing, fuel, or supplier accounts, and the intake confirms that debt is operation-related rather than personal.
Second filing within 8 years
A prior bankruptcy filing inside the 8-year window scores lower and gets flagged for manual review instead of an automatic pass, since it can affect strategy and eligibility.
Operation already shut down
The farming or fishing business has stopped operating, which lowers the score since Chapter 12 is built around an ongoing operation the filer intends to keep running.
No farming or fishing operation
The lead doesn't run a farm or commercial fishing business at all, so the intake scores it low immediately rather than routing it as a Chapter 12 case.

Chapter 12 Family Farmer or Fisherman lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake confirm someone actually qualifies as a family farmer or fisherman?
It asks directly whether the individual or couple runs a farming or commercial fishing operation, whether that operation is still active, and whether the debt in question is tied to it, which together form the core eligibility gate before anything reaches your CRM.
Why does the intake ask about bankruptcy filings in the last 8 years?
A recent prior filing is scored as a lower-fit signal rather than a disqualifier, since it can affect discharge history and case strategy, so those leads get flagged for your firm to review directly instead of being auto-approved.
What happens if the farm or fishing business has already shut down?
The intake treats an inactive operation as a lower-scoring answer, since Chapter 12 is intended for filers who want to keep operating, so those leads surface for review rather than being scored as strong fits.
Does the intake separate personal debt from farm or fishing debt?
Yes, it asks specifically whether the significant debts are tied to the farming or fishing operation itself, such as loans, equipment, land, fuel, feed, or suppliers, so you can see whether the case is actually operation-related.
What documentation does the intake collect before a case reaches me?
It's built to collect debt and financial documentation tied to the operation alongside the qualification answers, so you're reviewing a fuller picture rather than a bare form submission.
Does this intake make the eligibility determination for me?
No, it screens and scores leads against the catalog of eligibility questions so you can see the answers at a glance, but the actual legal determination of Chapter 12 eligibility stays with your firm.
