Investor take
PursueStrong opportunity: property-backed borrower with strong profile and acceptable with review structure.
Opportunity 77/100 (strong), bankability 67/100. Strong seller-intent signal (60/100, director aged 59). Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 11 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence.
