if I file a corportate bankruptcy do I have to file a personal as well since I maxed out credit cards to fund business?

A corporate bankruptcy filing will only affect the corporation's obligations on its debts.  It does not affect any other entity or person, including yourself.   Of course, if you have personal guarantees on corporate debts, and the corporation pays 100% of those debts in its bankruptcy case, then in that instance your liability would be removed. You should also note that corporations do not receive discharges of debts in Chapter 7 cases (which is what would be filed to go out of business).   Visit http://www.bklaw.com/business_bankruptcy.html  for more information. Whether you would need to file a personal bankruptcy can only be determined after a comprehensive analysis of your finances by an experienced bankruptcy attorney. Mark J.
