What this business does

Primary activity: Activities of sport clubs

Sector: Arts, entertainment & recreation

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed asset-holding vehicle — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 70/100 (strong), bankability 65/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. Biggest value-creation lever: Cash flow review and working-capital discipline. Cash down -67% YoY — forensic review of receivables, stock turns, and creditor days. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (45/100).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (71/100)

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

Owner dependency

65/100

FACTORS

-12 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.
+Long-tenure founder: Senior director has been in place 21 years — deep operational knowledge concentrated in one person.
+Founder age: Director aged approximately 81 — succession pressure is live.

Succession & seller-readiness

75/100

Likely off-market candidate

Strong acquirability signals converging. Worth approaching directly — this is how off-market deals start.

SIGNALS

primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 81 years old. Natural succession window is now.
primary20+ year tenure: Director in role 21 years. Very long tenure is a classic succession signal.

Red flags

1 high · 1 med ·

high

Annual confirmation statement not filed on time. Required statutory filing — overdue is a strong discipline signal.

Evidence: Next due: 2026-04-24

3 director resignations in last 12 months

medium

Multiple recent departures can indicate governance disagreement, succession event, or preparation for sale/stress.

Evidence: BROTHERHOOD, David resigned 2026-05-15; CLARK, Malcom resigned 2025-08-06; JENKINS, Christopher Ernest resigned 2025-08-07
