Is it "right" that this can happen to the £100K loan 14837 ...
The guarantor has reassessed their financial position and has confirmed that they will be unable to maintain repayments at the full contractual level. We have negotiated a repayment plan that will see the guarantor making monthly repayments for half of the contractual amount.
... while the business owner and guarantor appears to have simply shut down one business and promptly opened another doing precisely the same thing?
FC's investors should surely have some sort of stake in the new business and/or the guarantor's income from it.

interesting if nothing else! Are FC still charging you a fee for this wonderful financial acumen?

Are FC still charging you a fee for this wonderful financial acumen? They are charging me a fee -- though less than a month ago. They should be paying me. In reality, I very much doubt it is financial acumen; more like the opposite. I live in a dream world where natural and legal justice are close neighbours. But this is, after all, a heating engineer, so I should have expected all along to get shafted.

Exactly - cue loadsa other borrowers offering to repay 50% - wonder if I can ask my bank manager to reduce my business mortgage by the same amount...

This is an age old problem, people set up companies, these are legal entities of their own so when the company dies so do the debts, but the directors are free to start again and rack up more debt. This apparently is a problem with business rates collection. business start, don't pay their rates and then close, then the same owner starts up under a different name and gets to do it again and councils can do nothing.
There is indeed a gulf between moral and legal
