Investor take
PursueActive trading company. Reasonable fundamentals — worth a memo before deciding.
Opportunity 69/100 (strong), bankability 77/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 9 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (38/100).
