Investor take
PursueActive trading company with a 72-year-old founder — textbook succession opportunity.
Opportunity 83/100 (exceptional), bankability 80/100. Strong seller-intent signal (63/100, director aged 72). Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

Owner dependency
65/100

- +Founder age: Director aged approximately 72 — succession pressure is live.

SIGNALS
- primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 72 years old. Natural succession window is now.
- primary20+ year tenure: Director in role 27 years. Very long tenure is a classic succession signal.
