        Are you a PCG+ member? I know it covers for agents going bust, not sure about clients direct?

                Chalk this one down to experience. Again.

                There's gonna be tears for souvenirs tomorrow when the permies turn up to the news.

                Client Risk Test? Fck Hector, 30+ years in this game and no issues ever
                If they bring in an administrator my understanding is that permie salary is the last to get paid with HMG first and then B2B second.

                  Secured creditors (like banks holding a mortgage) get paid first. Preferential creditors, like employees, get paid after that. Unsecured creditors get paid last.

                  Somewhere in the mix are the fees paid to the receiver and HMG. They're definitely before employees, but not sure about secured creditors.

                      Be careful that they do indeed belong to you.

                      In the absence of information otherwise the receivers will probably assume they are a company asset and therefore theirs to do with what they wish. In this case you'll be down as an unsecured creditor on what they cost.

                      Your call: let the receiver know you control the domain names or write their cost off with the other moneys owed.
