What this business does

Primary activity: Non-specialised wholesale trade

Sector: Wholesale & retail

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed admin-neglect survivor — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 48/100 (watch), bankability 12/100. 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 (70/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

13 live charges · 8 lenders · oldest 54.4y

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

Data confidence

Overall: medium (58/100)

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

+Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.
