    Not one bit.

    Why would it. None of the information is showing up on your credit reports.

    A corporation is a separate legal entity. It can sue and be sued. If the corporation goes bankrupt, creditors cannot go after the assets of the shareholders. So, if the building owned by the corporation get foreclosed, it could affect the credit rating of the corporation; if, however, you as a shareholder of the corporation guaranteed the mortgage for the building, then you could be held liable for the debt. If you defraud on the loan, it could hurt your credit rating.
