The successorship doctrine applies when the purchaser of a business substantially continues the business operations of the predecessor. This means maintaining the same basic nature of the business, including the same products, services, location, and workforce. If the nature of the jobs performed and the means of operation change significantly, the doctrine may not apply. The successor does not have to lay off all the existing employees and hire new employees, and starting a new product line is not relevant to the doctrine.
