What this business does

Primary activity: Activities of venture and development capital companies

Sector: Financial & insurance

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 29/100 (pass), bankability 30/100. Asset purchase likely safer than share purchase given structural signals. Biggest value-creation lever: File overdue accounts. Clears statutory overdue flag — immediate bankability uplift for refinance conversations. Most likely exit: distressed disposal / insolvency (65/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

3 live charges · 2 lenders · oldest 25.9y

40/100

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.
· Two lenders — manageable, but coordination required.
· Legal-friction score 48/100 (high).

Data confidence

Overall: low (51/100)

Owner dependency

58/100

Moderate — manageable with handover

Some founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.

FACTORS

+Two-director setup: Only two active directors — typical of owner-managed SMEs but limits succession.

Succession & seller-readiness

36/100

Weak signal

Limited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.

SIGNALS

secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.

Red flags

4 high · 1 med ·

Accounts overdue

high

Statutory accounts have not been filed by their due date. Can indicate admin breakdown, cash preservation, or deliberate delay.

Evidence: Next due: 2025-06-30

Confirmation statement overdue

high

Annual confirmation statement not filed on time. Required statutory filing — overdue is a strong discipline signal.

Evidence: Next due: 2025-01-01

Company in liquidation

high

Company is actively being wound up. Not a going concern.

4 insolvency-related filings on record

high

Filings relating to insolvency, liquidation, or administration exist in the company's history. Review before proceeding.

Evidence: 2026-05-19: liquidation-voluntary-removal-of-liquidator-by-court; 2026-02-20: liquidation-voluntary-statement-of-receipts-and-payments-with-brought-down-date

Name changed recently

medium

Name changes can be benign (rebrand) but can also precede distress, phoenix activity, or buyer concealment.

Evidence: 2024-06-17: certificate-change-of-name-company
