Investor take

Pursue

Strong opportunity: active trading company with strong profile and acceptable with review structure.

Opportunity 72/100 (strong), bankability 67/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 3 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (63/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

4 live charges · 3 lenders · oldest 29.3y

35/100

too messy

Refinance path is blocked by complexity. Rethink structure or expect bespoke, expensive terms.

· Oldest live charge is 29.3 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· 3 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
· Legal-friction score 30/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.

Data confidence

Overall: medium (61/100)

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