Business sale agreement breach

[Shaha7788]

I sold the restaurant business in January to a limited company both directors has given personal guarantees.6 month now they are neither giving me remaining money of £45k .neither they don’t have any house so I can press charges against them.
it was written agreement between us .
they are dissolving the company which bought business.
what are my options.
lease is still in process with their name I have asked solicitor to stop lease.
can I just change the lock and stop their entry into restaurant?

You need to inform companies house there is an outstanding debt and the company should remain which will stop them simply dissolving the company.

Directors personal guarantees are good to have but if the directors have no assets what use are they?

In hindsight it would have been a good idea to carry out 'due diligence' prior to accepting the guarantees.

You cannot 'lock them out' without a court order. You should ask your solicitor what your options are.

You may sue your guarantors. Your solicitor will be able to advise further. Show him or her your contract.
