Wikipedia
Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy is a legal process through which people or other entities who cannot repay debts to creditors may seek relief from some or all of their debts. In most jurisdictions, bankruptcy is imposed by a court order, often initiated by the debtor. Bankrupt is not the only legal status that an insolvent person may have, and the term bankruptcy is therefore not a synonym for insolvency.

bankruptcy
Bankruptcy is a legal status declared by a court when an individual or an entity (like a business or corporation) cannot repay its outstanding debts to creditors. It involves a process where assets are measured and evaluated, then used to repay a portion of the outstanding debt, and the rest is often discharged or reorganized to make it manageable for the debtor. This process offers a fresh financial start but may negatively impact the debtor's creditworthiness in the future.

Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy is a legal status of a person or other entity that cannot repay the debts it owes to creditors. In most jurisdictions, bankruptcy is imposed by a court order, often initiated by the debtor. Bankruptcy is not the only legal status that an insolvent person or other entity may have, and the term bankruptcy is therefore not a synonym for insolvency. In some countries, including the United Kingdom, bankruptcy is limited to individuals, and other forms of insolvency proceedings are applied to companies. In the United States, bankruptcy is applied more broadly to formal insolvency proceedings.
