What if Crowdstacker goes out of business?

In the event that Crowdstacker Limited is unable to trade, the firm has agreed a living will agreement with Resolution Compliance Limited to ensure that the firm is wound down in an orderly manner for both its peer to peer lending, bond, loan notes and equity crowdfunding business.
