You can't really do much after. They had a client list, for example, but they didn't tell us that half of the clients were not happy with the service and looking elsewhere. They didn't tell us that two of the key staff members were about to open a competing business in the area and telling current clients about it. They didn't tell about the landlord having plans to renovate the building and raise rents/op-costs. These are not easy-to-check things. But these are very easy to present as "we didn't know" things.

We went through some really tough times, financially and emotionally. You put your name and your personal assets behind a small business. Lots of obligations. You can go broke.
