A Bankruptcy Search is a formal background investigation that discloses whether an individual or business entity has ever been declared bankrupt (for individuals) or insolvent (for companies). This process is commonly utilised in credit assessments, legal due diligence, and the evaluation of financial risks.

- Name of the bankrupt individual or company

- Case number and adjudicating court

- Date of bankruptcy declaration

- Type of bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding

- Status (discharged, undischarged, ongoing)

- Details regarding the trustee or official assignee

- Amount of debt involved (where applicable)
