If he doesn't have the money then you probably won't get paid. He may look to you favourably as you work for him, and so morally he may feel inclined to pay you your final wage...

Can you ring him and ask?

Have you been made redundant officially?

Have you signed on with the job centre so you can receive job seeker allowance?

Sorry I can't be of more help, but in these circumstances it is impossible to know what money he has left and how he will distribute it.

Good Luck xx

I know there's a govt scheme for paying redundancy if a company goes bust, so that might kick in for you - I would give ACAS a ring and ask them or trawl their website.
