If it's easy to sell the business off then there must be plenty of buyers. Which sounds to me like a good indicator that their response isn't a strong majority.

There is always going to be someone who will buy your business so they can sell your trucks and equipment and real estate.

I'm assuming they got a reasonable price, because they could easily do that themselves!
