Employer No Longer in Business to Verify for Mortgage

[Reagen Natho]

My husband and I are currently in the process of buying a cabin in Sevierville, TN and are in the employment verification stage of the mortgage approval process. One of his employers has gone out of business and we are unable to contact anyone associated with the company. I’ve tried googling the company to find any phone number at all to contact, but they are all disconnected. Any advice on what to do here? The mortgage company says they haven’t encountered this issue, which is kind of odd to me. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
