Typically no, they could not do this if the business is incorporated. They could, however, if either--

1) you personally guaranteed the debt; or

2) when signing the agreement/contract for the advertising, you signed in a personal capacity, and not in your capacity as an owner, executive, manager, etc. of the corporation.
