What this business does

Primary activity: SIC 01500

Sector: Agriculture, forestry & fishing

Investor take

Pursue

Asset-holding vehicle. Family succession underway — not a classic acquisition target.

Opportunity 82/100 (exceptional), bankability 85/100. Same-surname younger director in place — likely family handover, not open to sale. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

2 live charges · oldest 29.0y

85/100

ready

Refinance conversation should be productive — structure clean and timing right.

· Oldest live charge is 29.0 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
· Legal-friction score 15/100 — clean.

Owner dependency

88/100

Critical — business is the founder

The business appears inseparable from the founder. Acquisition without a serious earn-out or meaningful transition period would likely destroy value.

FACTORS

-4 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.
+Founder name in company name: Company name contains director surname "BROOME" — strong identity link between founder and business.
+Long-tenure founder: Senior director has been in place 41 years — deep operational knowledge concentrated in one person.
+Founder age: Director aged approximately 86 — succession pressure is live.
+Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.

Succession & seller-readiness

40/100

Moderate signal

Some succession indicators present. Worth watching; approach if sector/strategy fits.

SIGNALS

primaryFamily succession underway: Not a takeover target — BROOME, James David (same surname) appointed 2025-03-01. Pattern consistent with intra-family handover.
primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 86 years old. Natural succession window is now.
primary20+ year tenure: Director in role 41 years. Very long tenure is a classic succession signal.
supportingClean filings + long tenure: Disciplined long-tenure operator — classic lifestyle-business pattern that often sells quietly.

Red flags

clean
