Company Registration 101.
Clearly not too many company owners in these forums, hence the wild speculation and innuendo.
Guys (and girls?), you can figure this out for yourselves.
Closing a company does always not mean closing a business, a company is just the legal entity within which the business operated. Businesses can and do get sold on, usually with the assets (and trading names) attached but not the liabilities.
Then the company that had the rights to the business (and the trading name) is no longer needed and the company gets wound up as it no longer has income or assets and is technically insolvent. That is the correct and legal obligation.
Appointing a receiver or administrator is also a legal obligation and hence the right way to shut down a company in Australia. You cannot just decide to stop having a company, it has to be cleaned up and shut down according to law.
It all becomes clear when you do a proper search, not just of company closures but also of company formations.
Here we see a new Bumper registered a short while ago. And now we see the old Bumper Action Amusements closed down.
Therefore it is likely that the newer company has bought out the assets and name of the old Bumper Action Amusements. The trading name would go with it as Bumper Action Amusements trading name is no longer listed under former landlord Del Reiss or his trust's name.
With the new address and new company, the new Bumper and new owner are pretty much saying that the former landlord and disaffected staff can go and play in traffic.
Forum stories and associated rumours support this. There are plenty of forum comments that mention former landlord Del Reiss doing strange and stupid things to his tenant. Also plenty of stuff about old staff who were fired not being happy with their lot.
Methinks the new company and new location are a case of "out with the old baggage and in with the new ideas".
Good luck to the new Bumper, you guys have certainly been through a lot.
