Primary activity: Other construction installation
Sector: Construction
Investor take
PursueStrong opportunity: active trading company with strong profile and acceptable with review structure.

35/100
too messy

- · Oldest live charge is 36.1 years old — likely at or near maturity.
- · 4 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
- · Legal-friction score 40/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
Data confidence
Overall: medium (59/100)Adequate coverage. AI outputs are reliable for the sections scored high; verify the rest in diligence.
