Borders Group Inc., the second- largest U.S. bookstore chain, may file for protection from creditors as soon as next week, according to three people familiar with the matter.

Several private equity groups are weighing whether to provide a junior loan to the Ann Arbor, Michigan-based company, one of the people said.
