Investment thesis

Company dissolved — not a live target.

Why interesting: Historical record only; useful for precedent research.

Why risky: Not transactable.

Opportunity decay

approaching window · 12-months

Approaching a transaction window — refinance or sale event plausible in the next 12 months.

· Oldest live charge 42.3y old — refinance window within 12 months

What this business does

Primary activity: Business and domestic software development

Sector: Information & communication

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 62/100 (worth a look), bankability 80/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Resolve: Company dissolved. Company has been dissolved — it no longer legally exists. Any diligence here is historical only. Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (73/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

85/100

ready

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

· Oldest live charge is 42.3 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
· Legal-friction score 20/100 — clean.

Owner dependency

55/100

Moderate — manageable with handover

Some founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.

FACTORS

-4 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.
+Founder age: Director aged approximately 67 — succession pressure is live.

Succession & seller-readiness

73/100

Strong succession signal

Multiple signals suggest succession is on the horizon. Candidate for proactive outreach.

SIGNALS

primaryFounder aged 63+: Senior director is approximately 67. Approaching typical UK retirement age — succession thinking likely.
secondary12+ year tenure: Director in role 12 years.
secondaryStable-but-static management: Company is 46 years old and no new directors in the last 3 years — succession not yet being planned internally.
supportingClean filings + long tenure: Disciplined long-tenure operator — classic lifestyle-business pattern that often sells quietly.
