If it's easy to run a successful company, go ahead and start one. Yours will ensure that the salaried staff are well paid just in case the company folds, obviously.Why did the company fail? Any culpability on the part of the doubtless well-remunerated board? What happened to the salaried staff? Did they get well paid in case the company folded owing them pay and benefits too?
You will of course be aware that when a company folds the salaried staff and hourly paid staff are the first to be paid after the taxman, and generally get paid at 100p in the £, as they should. Unsecured creditors, such as man in a van who services the boilers, less so. Are you bothered about him?
