The chapter 11 Bankruptcy is for businesses and individuals (if secured debts are over $1,000,000). It is typically used for business bankruptcy and restructuring a business that has current and future profitable business units. You are allowed to continue to operate your overall business while it is in Chapter 11, although it is done so under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court and its appointees.
Individual consumers can also use chapter 11 bankruptcies but it is far more complex and expensive to pursue. There would also be administrative burdens. The ultimate purpose is to allow you to reorganize yourself, giving you an opportunity to restructure debt and get out from under certain burdensome leases and contracts.
