What this business does
Primary activity: SIC 1717
Sector: Manufacturing
Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)
Distressed low-transparency controlled group — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 38/100 (watch), bankability 2/100. 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 (90/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

8 live charges · 8 lenders · oldest 41.7y

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 41.7 years old — likely at or near maturity.
  • · 8 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
  • · Legal-friction score 55/100 (high).

Data confidence

75/100
High — earn-out structure required

Material founder dependency. Consider a 2-3 year earn-out and build in a handover plan before completion.

FACTORS
  • +Long-tenure founder: Senior director has been in place 22 years — deep operational knowledge concentrated in one person.
  • +Founder age: Director aged approximately 75 — succession pressure is live.

Succession & seller-readiness

85/100
Likely off-market candidate

Strong acquirability signals converging. Worth approaching directly — this is how off-market deals start.

SIGNALS
  • primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 75 years old. Natural succession window is now.
  • primary20+ year tenure: Director in role 22 years. Very long tenure is a classic succession signal.
  • secondaryStable-but-static management: Company is 68 years old and no new directors in the last 3 years — succession not yet being planned internally.
