Depends on the situation and the type of BK....but generally its fair to say the creditors do...and the reason for the BK frequently being there aren't enough to pay what they owe...the additional amount owed is discharged. The assets may come over by sale, transfer or even giving the creditors stock in a company that owns the assets.

What are the major advantages and disadvantages of the corporate organization?

The major advantage is the fact that a corporation is a legal entity. This means that if the corporation goes bankrupt or incurs a lot of debt the creditors can only go after the assets of the corporation, not the personal assets of its owners (i.e. the stockholders). This isn't true of a sole proprietorship or a partnership; if these go under and you own a piece of the business, your house, car, bank account, etc. are all fair game. The major disadvantage of a corporation is taxes. Corporate tax rates tend to be much higher than for partnerships or sole proprietorships.
