You will need to get a final answer from your Attorney, but if you presonally gauranted in loans of any kind for your business then chances the answer will be yes. It happened to my dads comapny many years ago. IF IT DOES Their are ways to have it removed from your credit.
In a Proprietorship, the personal bankruptcy of the proprietor may cause shut down of business. Whereas in Partnership and Joint Stock Companies, bankruptcy of Partners, Directors effects business credit immensely as bankers become shy in extending further credits to the company.

Does corporate bankruptcy affect personal credit?
"Whether a debtor keeps credit cards after filing bankruptcy is up to the credit card company. If you are discharging a credit card they will cancel the card unless you reaffirm the debt. Even if you have a zero balance the credit card company might cancel the card."
Yes. Since the "Car Sales Company" went into bankruptcy, your financial agreement with your "Creditor" (bank, credit card, credit union, etc...) has not dissolved the loan. Check with your creditor (who you send your monthly to?) and/or continue paying for your car. This will help you keep your own personal credit in good standing.
A personal bankruptcy can remain on your credit history for up to 10 years, which can make it difficult to get a business loan; however, if your business credit is established as a completely separate entity from your personal credit, you may increase your likelihood of getting a business loan.
It can stay on your personal credit report for up to 10 years, but most credit reporting agencies will remove it after 7.
ten years
Thier actions, or lack, do not effect your ability to file for bankruptcy.
Yes, it is very very difficult to repair credit after a bankruptcy. Once an individual or a company goes to bankruptcy, then all of the belonging of them are taken by the bank & thus there is nothing left to repair with.
Been paying a credit card under a payment agrement the company sold on the debt to another company and the have sent a letter and a draft of a bankruptcy order for the full amount!
