Of course. Filing for bankruptcy, put simply, is showing the court that your debts and financial obligations substantially exceed your income. The fact that you are self employed will not serve as a bar to your bankruptcy application but you will need to show detailed and accurate records of income and various expenses to establish the deficiency.
