Owner dependency
65/100

FACTORS
- +Founder age: Director aged approximately 82 — succession pressure is live.
Succession & seller-readiness
75/100
Likely off-market candidateStrong acquirability signals converging. Worth approaching directly — this is how off-market deals start.
SIGNALS
- primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 82 years old. Natural succession window is now.
- secondaryStable-but-static management: Company is 76 years old and no new directors in the last 3 years — succession not yet being planned internally.
