&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;''Insolvency - liquidation - claims.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The priority order of claims in an insolvency or liquidation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Broadly speaking, this priority order is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#Secured creditors&lt;br /&gt;
#Preferential creditors&lt;br /&gt;
#Fixed charge creditors&lt;br /&gt;
#Floating charge creditors&lt;br /&gt;
#Unsecured creditors&lt;br /&gt;
#Connected unsecured creditors&lt;br /&gt;
#Shareholders&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes abbreviated to ''waterfall''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Breaching this ordering is a ''preference'', that can be effectively reversed by an order of the court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#4B0082&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''''Examine bank account arrangements'''''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;Geoff O’Dea, a partner at law firm Goodwin Procter... strongly recommends examining bank account arrangements, especially when you have more than one account at a single bank. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:'A lot of them will have covenants in their loan agreements that require you to bank with the institution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:That was one of the issues with SVB with its clients amongst the VC, tech and life sciences community,' he says.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'For smaller companies, you might fit within the preferential rung in the insolvency waterfall, but if you're a large company, you’ll be an unsecured creditor for amounts above the [FSCS] £85,000 guarantee – so that's why you would need to examine that,' he says.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
