Pass (distressed without resilience)Distressed active trading company — structural issues outweigh the discount.
Opportunity 66/100 (strong), bankability 77/100. Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 14 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (50/100).

Owner dependency
58/100

Succession & seller-readiness
46/100
Moderate signalSome 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 41 years old and no new directors in the last 3 years — succession not yet being planned internally.
