Sector: Human health & social work
Investor take
PursueStrong opportunity: active trading company with strong profile and bankable structure.

Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 10 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (50/100).
