Q: How can I look to see if a business is in bankruptcy
A: If it was after 2005, you can obtain info regarding the case from PACER. This is a free govt service, as long as you use less than $10 of services in a calender quarter. Just sign up, and then do a query at the PACER website, in the jurisdiction where they were incorporated, where their assets are/were and or where they are/were physically located. (Could be filed in either.) If the case was prior to 2005, you should contact the National Archive. Their info can be located on the link page of the website for the court, in the jurisdiction where you filed.
