What this business does

Primary activity: Electrical installation

Sector: Construction

ALSO REGISTERED FOR

43220Plumbing, heat and air-conditioning installation

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed low-transparency controlled group — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 41/100 (watch), bankability 12/100. Strong seller-intent signal (60/100, director aged 73). 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: asset disposal / carve-out (55/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

6 live charges · 5 lenders · oldest 48.0y

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 48.0 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· 5 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
· Legal-friction score 50/100 (high).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (59/100)

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

+Long-tenure founder: Senior director has been in place 23 years — deep operational knowledge concentrated in one person.

SIGNALS

primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 73 years old. Natural succession window is now.
primary20+ year tenure: Director in role 23 years. Very long tenure is a classic succession signal.
secondaryStable-but-static management: Company is 56 years old and no new directors in the last 3 years — succession not yet being planned internally.
