Trading companies are usually closed down. From the date of liquidation the liquidator takes custody and control of all the company’s unsecured assets and assists secured creditors where necessary. The assets are collected and sold for the benefit of the company’s creditors. When the liquidation is complete the company is struck off (removed from) the Register of Companies. If you are an employee? Your employer going into liquidation can have serious implications for you. The liquidator takes an interest in assets subject to existing security interests and will contact those creditors. Where the liquidator decides against trading, your employment will be terminated and you will be given a claim form for any salary, wages, holiday pay and/or redundancy you may be owed.

As an employee, your claim for unpaid salary or wages and holiday pay is preferential. Visit the Labour Information website now. Visit the Work and Income (WINZ) website now.

Claims of the Creditors Funding of Proceedings. Managing involuntary closure for companies. Involuntary closure can take place in different ways, depending on the structure of the business closing down. For companies, the process can either be receivership or liquidation. Receivership can be initiated by a secured creditor to recover their financial interest in a company’s assets, while liquidation takes place primarily to repay unsecured creditors who don’t hold any security in a company’s assets. Both receivership and liquidation are often confused with voluntary administration. This is the process of appointing an administrator to turn around a failing company while at the same time preventing creditors from pursuing further actions – such as placing it in receivership or liquidation.

How to Start a Startup. March 2005 (This essay is derived from a talk at the Harvard Computer Society.) You need three things to create a successful startup: to start with good people, to make something customers actually want, and to spend as little money as possible. Most startups that fail do it because they fail at one of these. A startup that does all three will probably succeed. And that's kind of exciting, when you think about it, because all three are doable. If there is one message I'd like to get across about startups, that's it.

The Idea In particular, you don't need a brilliant idea to start a startup around. Google's plan, for example, was simply to create a search site that didn't suck. There are plenty of other areas that are just as backward as search was before Google. For example, dating sites currently suck far worse than search did before Google. An idea for a startup, however, is only a beginning. What matters is not ideas, but the people who have them. People What do I mean by good people? 3D Glow - Electrical and Lighting Design.
