What this business does
Primary activity: Other software publishing
Sector: Information & communication
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: strategic trade sale (48/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

14 live charges · 9 lenders · oldest 24.1y

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 24.1 years old — likely at or near maturity.
  • · 9 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
  • · Legal-friction score 53/100 (high).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (61/100)

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