What this business does

Primary activity: SIC 29320

Sector: Manufacturing

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed active trading company — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 67/100 (strong), bankability 47/100. 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: share sale to pe / searcher (45/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

10 live charges · 7 lenders · oldest 46.1y

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

Data confidence

Overall: medium (57/100)

Adequate coverage. AI outputs are reliable for the sections scored high; verify the rest in diligence.
