Investor take

Pursue

Strong opportunity: active trading company with strong profile and acceptable with review structure.

Opportunity 71/100 (strong), bankability 67/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 4 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (50/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

5 live charges · 4 lenders · oldest 42.6y

35/100

too messy

Refinance path is blocked by complexity. Rethink structure or expect bespoke, expensive terms.

· Oldest live charge is 42.6 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· 4 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
· Legal-friction score 38/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
