Suppliers, employees, the taxman and other unsecured creditors of Maplin face a shortfall of more than £200 million after its collapse.
A statement of affairs, prepared by the electrical retailer’s directors, shows that unsecured creditors are owed almost £217m, according to filings at Companies House.
Maplin, which collapsed in February, had assets of £45m, mostly comprised of stock. Unsecured creditors are understood to be in line to receive less than 1% of their claims.
