Can you take security over all types of assets, including working capital? Generally yes, before filing for the reorganization or the ruling setting forth the start of the liquidation bankruptcy. After the beginning of the reorganization proceedings, no further security interests can be granted over the assets of the debtor for credits due before the beginning of the reorganization proceedings. The debtor can grant security interests for new creditors after the start of the reorganization proceedings.
