What this business does

Primary activity: SIC 4545

Sector: Wholesale & retail

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

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

Opportunity 36/100 (watch), bankability 12/100. Strong seller-intent signal (68/100, director aged 75). 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 (90/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

22 live charges · 7 lenders · oldest 41.2y

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 41.2 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· 7 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
· Legal-friction score 75/100 (specialist).

Data confidence

Owner dependency

75/100

High — earn-out structure required

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

FACTORS

+Long-tenure founder: Senior director has been in place 28 years — deep operational knowledge concentrated in one person.
+Founder age: Director aged approximately 75 — 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 75 years old. Natural succession window is now.
primary20+ year tenure: Director in role 28 years. Very long tenure is a classic succession signal.
secondaryStable-but-static management: Company is 85 years old and no new directors in the last 3 years — succession not yet being planned internally.

Red flags

4 high · 2 med ·

Accounts overdue

high

Statutory accounts have not been filed by their due date. Can indicate admin breakdown, cash preservation, or deliberate delay.

Evidence: Next due: 2011-09-30

Confirmation statement overdue

high

Annual confirmation statement not filed on time. Required statutory filing — overdue is a strong discipline signal.

Evidence: Next due: 2017-03-13

Company in liquidation

high

Company is actively being wound up. Not a going concern.

5 insolvency-related filings on record

high

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

Evidence: 2024-05-21: order-of-court-restoration-previously-creditors-voluntary-liquidation; 2012-04-20: gazette-dissolved-liquidation

Charge satisfaction-then-recreation pattern

medium

Name changed recently

medium

Name changes can be benign (rebrand) but can also precede distress, phoenix activity, or buyer concealment.

Evidence: 2024-05-21: certificate-change-of-name-company
