Company ;iquidation - transferring CQC status

If a company is commencing voluntary liquidation proceedings (to prevent paying out in tribunal costs amongst other debts!!), could they transfer their current CQC registration with the new company that would in theory "buy" the company and its assets? If so how quickly can they do this? Also as a shareholder what legal rights do I have knowing that this company has took the £50k government loan during covid and used it to set up the new company to try and get out of paying what is owed to former employer? Amongst many other illegal actions on a personal level and professional!!

Any help would be great :)

    Members VL or Creditors VL? Presumably the latter, but not clear from your post.

    Correct. From the CQC's website:

    You must notify us if:

    • you are an registered provider that is an organisation, and
    • you change your registered provider name, or change your trading name

    Once you have notified us about the change you would like to make, you must apply to change the provider name on your registration. If you change your legal entity you would have to cancel your registration and re-register with us as a new provider

    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
