Primary activity: Activities of business and employers membership organisations

Sector: Other service activities

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed asset-holding vehicle — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 67/100 (strong), bankability 65/100. Biggest value-creation lever: Resolve: Confirmation statement overdue. Annual confirmation statement not filed on time. Required statutory filing — overdue is a strong discipline signal. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (72/100)

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