If the company I work for goes bust will I be on the hook?

in Credit cards
If I have a credit card in my own name, but owned by the business (not my business, I am just an employee), would I be accountable for outstanding debt on the card if the company went into administration/"went bust"?
Thanks

If the credit agreement is with the business, they are responsible.2

Yep, assuming the account belongs to the business then it's their responsibility. Employees being issued with business credit cards by their employer is not uncommon. It's the same principle as an additional card holder - husband is the account holder, wife is an additional card holder, husband is fully responsible for running/paying the account.

I've had both types of card.
You need to check what you have signed.0 -
The company I worked for the company credit card did have a let out that the credit card company would expect the employee to pay if company would or could not.0

You need to check as many have dual responsibility where you can be held liable as well as the company.0
