What this business does

Primary activity: Non-life insurance

Sector: Financial & insurance

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 49/100 (watch), bankability 52/100. Strong seller-intent signal (68/100, director aged 66). 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

10 live charges · 4 lenders · oldest 25.9y

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 25.9 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· 4 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
· Legal-friction score 65/100 (specialist).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (61/100)

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