Even if you have a contract, if the contract is with the company, and the company has gone under, you're most certainly fucked.
Don't mean to lecture, but this is one of the most important reasons to get deposits, and to get paid at regular intervals. Because companies, especially start-ups, do go under. And the liability is with the corporation, which no longer exists, and not with the person.
To a certain extent, in deciding when to do a job (I know not everyone really has a choice, have to take what you can get, etc...), you have to look at the health/reputation of the company.
If the person is really just starting out, you might actually want some sort of collateral to hold until they pay. Like the guy's favorite guitar, or something. Just a thought.
