What this business does

Primary activity: SIC 30300

Sector: Manufacturing

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

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

Opportunity 34/100 (pass), bankability 12/100. 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: asset disposal / carve-out (90/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

12 live charges · 6 lenders · oldest 43.2y

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 43.2 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· 6 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
· Legal-friction score 75/100 (specialist).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (60/100)

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