Investor take

Pursue

Conservative operator with a 80-year-old founder — textbook succession opportunity.

Opportunity 75/100 (strong), bankability 85/100. Strong seller-intent signal (73/100, director aged 80). Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (78/100).

🏦

75/100

ready

Refinance conversation should be productive — structure clean and timing right.

· Oldest live charge is 44.6 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
