Investment thesis

Company liquidation — 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 34.6y old — refinance window within 12 months

What this business does

Primary activity: Architectural activities

Sector: Professional, scientific & technical

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 38/100 (watch), bankability 30/100. Strong seller-intent signal (68/100, director aged 71). 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: distressed disposal / insolvency (65/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

2 live charges · 2 lenders · oldest 34.6y

60/100

clean up first

Refinance viable after a tidy-up — address the highlighted items first.

· Oldest live charge is 34.6 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Two lenders — manageable, but coordination required.
· Legal-friction score 40/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
· Profitable and stable/growing — lender coverage supportable.

Data confidence

Overall: medium (68/100)

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