What it means

As explained by Merchant Fund Express: A legal process that restructures or discharges debts when a person or business cannot pay them.

A bankruptcy on the business or on the owner appears in credit reports for years and can affect eligibility for a long period.

Why it matters when you apply

The published requirements for the strongest tier ask for no bankruptcy or foreclosure in the last three years. Other tiers may read it differently.
