Investor take
PursueStrong opportunity: active trading company with strong profile and bankable structure.

Refinance opportunity
1 live charge · oldest 2.9y
30/100
too messy
Refinance path is blocked by complexity. Rethink structure or expect bespoke, expensive terms.
- · Newest facility, 2.9 years old — likely still in initial term.
- · Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
- · Legal-friction score 28/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
