Debtor in Possession (DIP)
A Debtor in Possession (DIP) refers to a company that has filed for bankruptcy but continues to operate its business while under court protection. This process allows the company to manage its assets and try to restructure its debts without losing control. The DIP retains the authority to make decisions about its operations, like paying employees and suppliers, while working on a plan to pay back creditors. The court and creditors oversee the process to ensure transparency and fairness, aiming for the best possible outcome for all parties involved.

A Debtor-in-Possession (DIP) refers to a business that is undergoing bankruptcy but still maintains control of its assets and operations. Instead of liquidating, the company has the opportunity to reorganize and work out a plan to repay creditors while continuing to operate. This status allows the business to keep functioning, paying employees, and generating revenue during the restructuring process. DIP financing may be available, offering new loans to help stabilize the business while it seeks to emerge from bankruptcy successfully.
