A company that has no employees, & no assets sounds very dodgy to me...if it is a company that pays the rent (that's a new concept!)...someone has to be employed in some capacity in order to set the rent payment in motion. Or to operate as a company something must be produced or a service offered. If there are no assets or employees it sounds like money laundering is its trade.
There are differences but it is the same trick - trying to get rid of creditors. CCFC hasn't been solvent in years, it doesn't matter what SISU's own finances are like. This is a drastic move, borne out of desperation - the situation is slipping away from SISU, and they know it
In the business world it happens all the time. You'll normally have a holding company that owns all the assets and operating companies underneath which are exposed to the risks of business.
If one of the businesses catches a cold somewhere it is closed down without affecting the other businesses.
A recent similar case I can think of, within coventry, is bemfield construction which was closed but the parent company remained unaffected.
Companies are allowed to fail - it is one of the perceived risks of being in business (well, unless you are a bank of course).
How this would affect a points deduction I have no idea.
