Thank you for your input. Much appreciated. As for the business, the landlord, did not renew my lease and to be quite frank, I was not interested in moving.... as I have been planning to bow out soonish anyway. I have been in that industry for 17 years now. 11 with that business. I gave my team everything in the shop. Equipment, stock - all of it. They will be moving forward with the same client base, just under a new name, so they have none of the financial baggage that I carried.... so not completely gone, but the end of an era for me.
As for me, I am quite happy to close that chapter, the time had come for me to move onward.... and I am VERY excited about it :)
