Sell business assets

When a company is sold, the new owners might want to sell off some of the assets in order to invest in other areas of the business or to pay down debts. TUPE transfers can be used to protect the interests of employees when a business is sold, and so selling off assets might be seen as a way to circumvent this. Finally, some businesses might simply be sold for their assets, rather than for the business as a whole, in which case selling off the assets would be the most logical thing to do.
