I was talking to a person who had started a company and went toast. He bluntly put it, what remains after a software shop shuts down are 'just files' on the hard drive.

This is especially true when the company doesn't own any real estate at all. After the shops shuts down, nearly everything gets sold for half price.

My chair at home costs 25K INR if I buy it in the showroom, I bought it from a scrap shop for 2K INR, the guy in the scrap shop told me the chair came a software shop which closed recently. That is how low things like infrastructure get sold.
