Wages?
So you are planning on taking money for yourself but not paying wages, and are trading while insolvent?
Then you say you can't afford an IP. Frankly it sounds like you can't afford NOT to have one.
If you take out that money and the company is subsequently wound up by HMRC then the official receiver will probably demand it back as a preference.
Liquidators
I acted as bookeeper for a company that went into CVA.
The liquidators have spent most of the assets on investigations of the director without the approval or saction of the creditors. I have been advising the director and attending meetings with the liquidator and his solicitor.
I have been approached by several creditors to act as proxy to stop any further expenditure and/or remove the liquidator.
Action is threatened under section 212, 238 & 239. The creditors have voted against action.
Can i act as proxy or will there be a conflict of interests?
