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

Why risky: Not transactable.

What this business does

Primary activity: Non-trading company

Sector: Professional, scientific & technical

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed dormant / non-trading — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 55/100 (worth a look), bankability 60/100. Strong seller-intent signal (60/100, director aged 61). Biggest value-creation lever: File overdue accounts. Clears statutory overdue flag — immediate bankability uplift for refinance conversations. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (45/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

8 live charges · oldest 40.8y

85/100

ready

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

· Oldest live charge is 40.8 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
· Legal-friction score 20/100 — clean.

Owner dependency

81/100

Critical — business is the founder

The business appears inseparable from the founder. Acquisition without a serious earn-out or meaningful transition period would likely destroy value.

FACTORS

+Two-director setup: Only two active directors — typical of owner-managed SMEs but limits succession.
+Founder name in company name: Company name contains director surname "LIMITED" — strong identity link between founder and business.
+Senior director age: Director aged approximately 61 — approaching natural succession window.

Succession & seller-readiness

56/100

Strong succession signal

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

SIGNALS

secondaryFounder aged 58+: Senior director is approximately 61. Early succession window.
secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.
secondaryStable-but-static management: Company is 41 years old and no new directors in the last 3 years — succession not yet being planned internally.
