What this business does
Primary activity: Non-life insurance
Sector: Financial & insurance
Investor take
PursueStrong opportunity: active trading company with strong profile and acceptable with review structure.
Opportunity 79/100 (strong), bankability 57/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 5 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (48/100).
🏦

- · 5 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
- · Legal-friction score 48/100 (high).
Data confidence
