To get around it the previous owner is not even a director of the new company. A front man is - the previous owner then sub contracts him/herself.

it's still illegal and the previous owner could still "get done"

If it’s a new company, with a new board and a new article of incorporation, and they then hire the former company owner as an employee, where’s the illegality?

Immoral, for sure, but illegal?

Directors have a fiduciary duty to creditors and assets must only ever be sold at or above their true value irrespective of whom they are sold to and selling assets for a nominal value is effectively cheating creditors

You’re right, of course about the undervaluing of the assets; I was thinking of the legality of employment. I should have read the first post properly.

Well it happened to me. A one man band selling Bi-Folds. Sold the remaining assets to his 'new company'.

It would have been up to me to take him to court again.

I got him because he was advertising himself as an approved installer for his supplier, which he wasn't.

He was also advertising 2 weeks turn around for bi-folds just before he declare the company bankrupt. Thus taking lots of peoples money and then disappearing.

I found out his new company name, contacted his supplier and told them the above. The MD of his supplier said 'What do you want me to do? He paid us.'

I said as I've informed you of his criminal activity you are culpable and I'm sure that you would not wish to be associated with him. So I suggest you stop supplying him until he fits my Bi-folds.

They were fitted two weeks later and I paid half of what I should have. I told him to take me to court for the rest. Never heard from him again!!! He told me he would install them himself as he was not happy. I told him I was looking forward to it. He was a no show!

I would post the company names but know that the site would not want me too.

As trigger would say “ half price eh, what’s that company again”
