Legal advice please

Firstly apologies if this is the wrong forum but I didn't know where to start asking for advice on this issue.

I invested some money in a company that has subsequently got into trouble. The investment was an interest free loan to them, in return for a percentage of the company profits and the loan due to be paid back 3 years later. The former director of the company has been made personally bankrupt and there is a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the company now. Does anyone know where I stand with getting the initial loan amount back?

I have tried to make contact with him but with no success, only found out about the bankruptcy through a forum connected with the company.

    If you lent it to the company and they are bankrupt then you are considered a creditor, and will only see a small part of it back, after the receiver has done their work.

    I wouldn't rely on it. Sorry
