Is There a Way to Turn a Small Business Into a Business?

The company was not bankrupt, and thus did not appear on PASER. I heard of the auction by random chance in a conversation with a friend. The total sale price at the auction, of all the assets sold in several hundred lots, was something like six million dollars. But someone else, a multi-state competitor with strategic reasons to buy, far abid me. It ended up years later in a lawsuit and my regaining the equity.
