How to recover the money I lent to a company ?

[Guest]

Hello. I need some legal advice in regards to some money I lent to a company. In December , last year (5 months ago ) , i lent* £2000 to a friend's company . He said he would give me the money back in a few days. . In the mean time, the situation got rough, he kept on telling me that next week he is going to pay but nothing ever happened. When I wanted to see what are my legal options I realised he sold the company to someone else ( so he wasn't the legal owner of the company anymore). I sent the money in December, from my bank account to the company's bank account . Please tell me what should I do, legally, to get my money back. I heard something of a Small Case Court, but I have no idea if it is the best solution and what I have to do before . Thank you very much*
