Why is this still a discussion when (a) the OP never mentioned collecting unemployment benefits in his first post (as he pointed out he has his own company now); and (b) he followed up on the same day advising that after thinking it over he had handed in his resignation.
Good luck with your company, Ronaldon - hope it's a great success! There's no question that you did the right thing and if this is the first company you've owned, I hope you've learned a lot from being an employee which will stand you in good stead for the future. All the best.
There has also been cases when someone was fired appealed the initial decision and won. Then the employer appeals and the former employee has to pay that money back. So if you are fired it is a big mess trying to get unemployment or trying to keep it going.
I was forced to resign from a job, or they threatened that they would fire me, and I still got my unemployment benefits. On my unemployment application I was explicit in that it was a hostile environment (which it was) and I was being yelled and screamed at by a very unstable boss. In summary, I got paid!

Congratulations OP, best of luck with your business activities.
The former supervisor may have been blaming the OP for his own performance problems. With time that will become evident to the business owner. Keep contact information on hand so when the day comes that the supervisor is held accountable you can use the owner as a reference if need be.
If you voluntarily quit you will probably not receive unemployment compensation. Voluntary leaving must be with good cause attributable to the employer. If you are fired you will collect unless the employer can prove misconduct.
Even with being fired it will still be a delay in receiving UC because the examiner has to interview on the phone to make their determination of whether or not you are eligible for benefits.
Start looking for a new job NOW. When you fill out an employment application you indicate that you are currently employed.
Often an employer will negotiate the terms of your departure: you leave, they won't challenge unemployment insurance and give you a decent reference. For example: XXX turned out to be not a good fit for the position.
