    That might genuinely just be bad business practices though

    I have a friend who is a process server, they’ve told me countless stories of going to serve legal papers to a business but the business name had changed and wasn’t the same as on the paperwork so they couldn’t serve the papers

      I was also thinking that businesses are bought and sold all the time. My local mechanic seemed to change owners once every several years.

      What do you mean? It’s not just a name change, it’s a whole new company with seemingly new owners every time.

      I’ve also checked how much it costs to rent there, and they would need to cut over 200 heads per month simply to cover rent. If you throw in a poverty-level salary for a single person, the heads required will triple.

      Of course nothing definite, but it sure is a weird cycle.
