By garnishment I believe you are referring to a lien on the business assets as a wage garnishment would affect employee wages and a bank levy would affect a bank account What ultimately happens depends somewhat on how the company is sold:

If the company's assets are being sold but the seller is retaining its ownership shares in an LLC (single owner or partnership) or a Corporation, the seller would have to pay off the lien from the sale of the assets or the assets would not be able to be sold to the new owner as this is the purpose of a court ordered lien in the first place.

If shares of the company itself are sold the lien in place would likely transfer to the new shareholder unless the lien was on the seller as an individual instead of on the company itself. When the company sells any assets such as a company vehicle the lien could then be enforced. in some cases it is also possible to force the sale of certain assets to satisfy a judgment.

If you are referring to the wages of an employee that are being garnished after the sale a similar thing would be in effect. If the assets are sold only, the new owner is essentially forming a new company. Since the employee would be working for a new company, a new garnishment order would have to be served on him before the garnishment would take place. If the shares of the company were sold, the garnishment would continue to be enforced.

Is the owner and founder of a corporation one in the same?

No. A founder, found the company. (or started it.) This would never change. An owner, owns the company. A founder could be an owner if he started the company with his own money. If the founder started the company with someone elses money he is not the owner. If the company is sold to a new owner. The new owner would not become the founder. That is unless you sold it to the person that was already the founder.
