Great news.
What is p***g me off at the moment is some companies with deep pockets full of cash are buying what under normal circumstances would be well performing businesses, but due to lockdown are on the verge of failure (I don't mean Debenhams or Arcadia).
The shareholders/directors/staff of target company lose capital/reputation/jobs for reasons completely beyond their control but, the buyers having acquired assets and goodwill for a small percentage of pre/post lockdown value, will in a few months be sitting on huge profits for little effort.
You could say right place right time, but it's very unfair.
But your client has clearly worked hard and taken advantage of the previous management's inability to run the business. That is fair.
