The problem for 'Emerald Bakery' is that the shop is closed because Health & Safety' have found a rat's arse in a French Stick. The customers are now looking to shop elsewhere on the High street. The suppliers, although used to being paid persistantly late may not want to write off the debt to the previous owner and allow new debt to pile up with the new owner. Not all the staff are going to hang around to see if a new owner can be found and whether or not they have escaped the redundancy list, which they know is being drafted as they await their fate. The staff having been poorly paid for years couldn't raise a whip-round let alone venture capital.
