What this business does

Primary activity: Other activities auxiliary to insurance and pension funding

Sector: Financial & insurance

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed active trading company — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Filings relating to insolvency, liquidation, or administration exist in the company's history. Review before proceeding. Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (73/100).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (60/100)

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

Owner dependency

58/100

Moderate — manageable with handover

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

FACTORS

+Two-director setup: Only two active directors — typical of owner-managed SMEs but limits succession.

Succession & seller-readiness

36/100

Weak signal

Limited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.

SIGNALS

secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.

Red flags

1 high ·

1 insolvency-related filing on record

high

Filings relating to insolvency, liquidation, or administration exist in the company's history. Review before proceeding.
