Bankruptcy monitoring for IT vendors & MSPs
Stop the billing clock before you deliver another month for free.

MRR you can't collect is worse than no revenue at all
Managed service providers and IT vendors operate on monthly recurring contracts. When a client files Chapter 7, the automatic stay immediately prevents them from paying you – but your team may keep delivering services for weeks before anyone notices.
Software licenses, hardware leases, helpdesk hours – all of it becomes an unsecured claim in the bankruptcy estate. The earlier you know, the less you deliver for free.
How CaseWarn helps
Catch filings before the next billing cycle
CaseWarn monitors filings daily. A client who files on March 3rd shows up in your inbox on March 4th – before the March invoice goes out.
Distinguish Chapter 7 from Chapter 11
Chapter 7 means the business is liquidating – cut off immediately. Chapter 11 means reorganization – they may want to continue the contract. CaseWarn labels every alert so you know which response is appropriate.
Act on the right contracts
With a named list of monitored clients, you're never scanning news or waiting for the client to call. The alert comes to you.
Real scenario
An MSP client with a $6,200/mo managed services contract files Chapter 11 on a Friday. Monday morning, the CaseWarn alert arrives. The MSP's account manager calls the debtor's CTO before invoicing – confirms the contract will be assumed under the reorganization plan, and gets it in writing. No disruption, no unpaid invoice.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to keep providing services to a client in Chapter 11?
Chapter 11 allows the debtor to assume or reject contracts. Until they formally reject yours, you generally must continue – but post-filing services become an administrative claim paid ahead of unsecured creditors. Get written confirmation the contract will be assumed before delivering another month.
What happens to my MRR when a client files Chapter 7?
Chapter 7 means the client is liquidating. The automatic stay stops payment of pre-petition invoices immediately. Any services delivered after the filing date may qualify as an administrative claim, but the client is winding down – pause service before new charges accrue.
Can I disconnect services to a client in bankruptcy?
For Chapter 7 (liquidation), yes – stop new service. For Chapter 11 (reorganization), the automatic stay may restrict termination if it harms the reorganizing debtor. Get legal advice quickly. An early alert gives you time to make that call before services auto-renew.
Does CaseWarn help with proof of claim filing?
CaseWarn gives you the alert and case details – debtor name, chapter, court, and case number – you need to act immediately. Filing the proof of claim itself requires working with the court's claims process, typically with legal counsel. Early notice ensures you have the full bar-date window to prepare.
