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

SIGNALS
  • primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 79 years old. Natural succession window is now.
  • primary20+ year tenure: Director in role 34 years. Very long tenure is a classic succession signal.
