Have you paid NI? My understanding is that you can claim 6 months of contribution based JSA which isn't means tested. There's some debate as to whether company money is included in means tested JSA - seems to me the simplest thing would be to pay your corp tax early, then it's a non-issue. Good luck, hope you get sorted.

Having a significant bank balance of £20k, which is loaned from the company, whilst having a corporate debt to HMRC is crazy.
That said, as MS says - if you have paid NI then you can get contributions-based JSA as long as you are redundant. It's up to £72.40 a week, depending on your age.
You won't be eligible for any other JSA though because you have £20k in savings.
