Hi Barry.ja
Yes Scottish law is slightly different and the way one goes about making oneself bankrupt in Scotland is different and she would have to take advice.
However your joint home would be in jeopardy and the Accountant in Bankruptcy (if she made herself bankrupt in Scotland) would want her share of the house. If you are still living in the house, you should get first refusal to whether you wish to purchase her interest in the house which would normally be a straight 50% oof any equity.
Your company will not be affected at all by her bankruptcy unless she is involved as a Director, Shareholder or, possibly, employee.
All the very best
