Our sole trader client was a publican (with accumulating business losses) in town A. Prior to cessation, he purchased another non-trading public house in town B (75 miles away) intending to sell the town A business and then start trading in town B.
However, due to lack of buyer interest in the original business, the trader opened the town B business under management prior to disposal of the original pub. Other than the owner, there were no staff, stock or customers common to both businesses.
