What this business does

Primary activity: Other sports activities

Sector: Arts, entertainment & recreation

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Active trading company. Family succession underway — not a classic acquisition target.

Opportunity 68/100 (strong), bankability 37/100. Same-surname younger director in place — likely family handover, not open to sale. Asset purchase likely safer than share purchase given structural signals. Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 25 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: family or management succession (50/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

41 live charges · 25 lenders · oldest 78.8y

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 78.8 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· 25 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
· Legal-friction score 83/100 (specialist).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (72/100)

Adequate coverage. AI outputs are reliable for the sections scored high; verify the rest in diligence.

Owner dependency

56/100

Moderate — manageable with handover

Some founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.

FACTORS

+Senior director age: Director aged approximately 62 — approaching natural succession window.
+Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.
