Distribution of Assets in Company Dissolution
The assets of a dissolved company pass to the Crown. The Crown appoints an Official Receiver to distribute the assets. Assets distributed are cash, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and prepaid expenses. The company may also own real estate or patents. Assets pay creditors and shareholders. The process ensures fair distribution of remaining resources.
