What this business does
Primary activity: SIC 46610
Sector: Wholesale & retail
Investor take
Special-situation opportunityAdmin-neglect survivor. Family succession underway — not a classic acquisition target.
Opportunity 68/100 (strong), bankability 55/100. Same-surname younger director in place — likely family handover, not open to sale. Biggest value-creation lever: File overdue accounts. Clears statutory overdue flag — immediate bankability uplift for refinance conversations. Most likely exit: family or management succession (50/100).
🏦
Refinance opportunity
3 live charges · 2 lenders · oldest 27.0y

clean up first
Refinance viable after a tidy-up — address the highlighted items first.
- · Oldest live charge is 27.0 years old — likely at or near maturity.
- · Two lenders — manageable, but coordination required.
- · Legal-friction score 25/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
Data confidence
Overall: medium (79/100)Adequate coverage. AI outputs are reliable for the sections scored high; verify the rest in diligence.

Owner dependency
76/100
High — earn-out structure requiredMaterial founder dependency. Consider a 2-3 year earn-out and build in a handover plan before completion.
FACTORS
- +Two-director setup: Only two active directors — typical of owner-managed SMEs but limits succession.
- +Long-tenure founder: Senior director has been in place 28 years — deep operational knowledge concentrated in one person.
- +Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.
Succession & seller-readiness
21/100
No succession signalNo meaningful acquirability indicators from public data.
SIGNALS
- primaryFamily succession underway: Not a takeover target — DAVIES, Jennifer Ann (same surname) appointed 2023-05-01. Pattern consistent with intra-family handover.
- secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.
- primary20+ year tenure: Director in role 28 years. Very long tenure is a classic succession signal.
- secondaryStable-but-static management: Company is 28 years old and no new directors in the last 3 years — succession not yet being planned internally.
