> these businesses are thriving

Maybe not thriving but they were paying salaries and bills before they were bought. They were not in a bankrupt state.



Not bankrupt doesn’t mean the company is actually worth anything. A large number of tiny business are still in operation because the owner is willing to work at below market rates to keep it operating.
