What this business does

Primary activity: Financial leasing

Sector: Financial & insurance

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed low-transparency controlled group — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 34/100 (pass), bankability 22/100. Asset purchase likely safer than share purchase given structural signals. Biggest value-creation lever: File overdue accounts. Clears statutory overdue flag — immediate bankability uplift for refinance conversations. Most likely exit: asset disposal / carve-out (90/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

10 live charges · 6 lenders · oldest 42.1y

25/100

too messy

Structure is too messy for a clean refinance right now — clean up first or expect bespoke terms.

· Oldest live charge is 42.1 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· 6 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
· Legal-friction score 75/100 (specialist).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (60/100)

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

Owner dependency

58/100

Moderate — manageable with handover

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

FACTORS

+Two-director setup: Only two active directors — typical of owner-managed SMEs but limits succession.

Succession & seller-readiness

46/100

Moderate signal

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

SIGNALS

secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.
secondaryStable-but-static management: Company is 45 years old and no new directors in the last 3 years — succession not yet being planned internally.
