What this business does

Primary activity: SIC 7440

Sector: Professional, scientific & technical

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed low-transparency controlled group — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 39/100 (watch), bankability 0/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. Asset purchase likely safer than share purchase given structural signals. Biggest value-creation lever: File overdue accounts. Clears statutory overdue flag — immediate bankability uplift for refinance conversations. Most likely exit: asset disposal / carve-out (100/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

6 live charges · 4 lenders · oldest 45.5y

25/100

too messy

Structure is too messy for a clean refinance right now — clean up first or expect bespoke terms.

· Oldest live charge is 45.5 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· 4 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
· Legal-friction score 55/100 (high).

Owner dependency

65/100

High — earn-out structure required

Material founder dependency. Consider a 2-3 year earn-out and build in a handover plan before completion.

FACTORS

-6 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.
+Long-tenure founder: Senior director has been in place 35 years — deep operational knowledge concentrated in one person.
+Founder age: Director aged approximately 90 — succession pressure is live.

Succession & seller-readiness

85/100

Likely off-market candidate

Strong acquirability signals converging. Worth approaching directly — this is how off-market deals start.

SIGNALS

primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 90 years old. Natural succession window is now.
primary20+ year tenure: Director in role 35 years. Very long tenure is a classic succession signal.
secondaryStable-but-static management: Company is 115 years old and no new directors in the last 3 years — succession not yet being planned internally.
