To proceed with corporate bankruptcy filing, the documents to be submitted to the court are very diverse and require thorough preparation in advance.

First, the most basic bankruptcy application must include the applicant's trade name, location of the main office or business establishment, and the name of the representative.

It must also include the purpose and reason of the application, business purpose and current status, capital and debt status, and stock or equity information.

Additionally, the following attachments must also be submitted when filing for corporate bankruptcy.
