What this business does

Primary activity: Other specialised construction activities n.e.c.

Sector: Construction

Investor take

Special-situation opportunity

Distressed construction with salvageable qualities — special-situations priority.

Opportunity 57/100 (worth a look), bankability 32/100. Asset purchase likely safer than share purchase given structural signals. Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 4 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: asset disposal / carve-out (45/100). Current lenders should be on monthly review.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

9 live charges · 4 lenders · oldest 39.8y

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 39.8 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· 4 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
· Legal-friction score 60/100 (high).
