Hi, my small business is going into voluntary liquidation.
This is new territory to me. I have been put in touch with an accountancy firm who specialise in this area. It has been explained to me that I will sign a resolution to liquidate the business, the liquidator will open an account to receive the assets & funds of the company. Some funds will be witheld to cover claims from creditors but the majority can be quite quickly passed to me personally. Now this is where I'm going to sound a little paranoid.......how am I protected if the liquidator goes bust before I receive the funds or indeed if he decides to delay passing over those funds to me. Are liquidators bonded for example or is there any other form of industry protection in place?
Many thanks in advance
