Their credit will be impacted for several years.
Bankruptcy (if lawful) is a civil process — it can stay on credit reports (typically 7–10 years), making it harder and more expensive to get credit. It doesn't automatically bring criminal charges, doesn't permanently prohibit all future business loans, and often relieves or restructures debts rather than requiring full repayment with all interest.
