Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)
Distressed low-transparency controlled group — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 33/100 (pass), bankability 2/100. Strong seller-intent signal (63/100, director aged 72). 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 (100/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

8 live charges · 6 lenders · oldest 25.2y

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 25.2 years old — likely at or near maturity.
  • · 6 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
  • · Legal-friction score 60/100 (high).

Data confidence

Overall: low (52/100)

Owner dependency

90/100
Critical — business is the founder

The business appears inseparable from the founder. Acquisition without a serious earn-out or meaningful transition period would likely destroy value.

FACTORS
  • +Sole director: Only one active director — all governance concentrated on one person.
  • +Founder age: Director aged approximately 72 — 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 72 years old. Natural succession window is now.
  • primarySole active director: Only one director in control. No visible successor — buyers solve the succession problem.
  • secondaryStable-but-static management: Company is 67 years old and no new directors in the last 3 years — succession not yet being planned internally.

Red flags

4 high · 1 med · 1 low
Accounts overdue
high

Evidence: Next due: 2017-09-30

Evidence: Next due: 2017-06-05

14 insolvency-related filings on record
high

Filings relating to insolvency, liquidation, or administration exist in the company's history. Review before proceeding.

5 live charges
low

Heavily leveraged with multiple live security positions — understand the capital structure before proceeding.
