what happens to my c corp if i file personal bankruptcy? The company is successful, but cannot survive withou?
My shares hold no value because the company couldn’t survive without me.
We are filing due to a failing S corporation we are also involved in.
Not clear why a successful company couldn’t issue you sufficient dividends to overcome your insolvency, or offer to liquidate your shares in exchange for cash.
Just because you’re in personal bankruptcy should not have any effect upon a C corp in which you’re a shareholder; the two are completely separate legal entities: you and the company you invested in.
