What this business does

Primary activity: Non-trading company

Sector: Professional, scientific & technical

Investor take

Pursue

Dormant / non-trading with a 80-year-old founder — textbook succession opportunity.

Opportunity 76/100 (strong), bankability 65/100. Strong seller-intent signal (63/100, director aged 80). Biggest value-creation lever: Discharge stale live charges. 5 live charge(s) created 15+ years ago — likely paid but undischarged. Clean register. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (45/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

17 live charges · 2 lenders · oldest 27.7y

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 27.7 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Two lenders — manageable, but coordination required.
· Legal-friction score 53/100 (high).

+Long-tenure founder: Senior director has been in place 15 years — deep operational knowledge concentrated in one person.
+Founder age: Director aged approximately 80 — succession pressure is live.

Succession & seller-readiness

73/100
