What this business does

Primary activity: Activities of venture and development capital companies

Sector: Financial & insurance

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 32/100 (pass), bankability 30/100. 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: distressed disposal / insolvency (65/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.

Data confidence

Overall: low (54/100)

Sparse data coverage. Treat AI-generated outputs as preliminary. Manual diligence essential.
