Pursue

Active trading company with a 71-year-old founder — textbook succession opportunity.

Opportunity 77/100 (strong), bankability 85/100. Strong seller-intent signal (63/100, director aged 71). Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

65/100

clean up first

Refinance viable after a tidy-up — address the highlighted items first.

· Oldest live charge is 38.5 years old — likely at or near maturity.

73/100
