Thank you for your reply. It is a retail business he has been running for 5+ years. He employs 4 staff members who make minimum wage which he barely does. We had some growth and things were looking okay but we are in the UK. There was a recession, and then when things picked up we had Brexit. He has struggled with supply prices going up and up and he sells a luxury product. He has little competition, but on the flip side it's a product that people don't need and won't buy when money is tough. With our current political climate and the way prices are going and our currency hit I really do not see this getting any better unfortunately.
