Investor take
PursueActive trading company with a 77-year-old founder — textbook succession opportunity.
Opportunity 80/100 (exceptional), bankability 85/100. Strong seller-intent signal (63/100, director aged 77). Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (73/100).
🏦
Refinance opportunity
1 live charge · oldest 10.9y
65/100
clean up first
Refinance viable after a tidy-up — address the highlighted items first.
- · Oldest live charge is 10.9 years old — likely at or near maturity.
- · Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
- · Legal-friction score 28/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
