What this business does

Primary activity: SIC 46719

Sector: Wholesale & retail

Investor take

Pursue

Active trading company. Family succession underway — not a classic acquisition target.

Opportunity 80/100 (exceptional), bankability 85/100. Same-surname younger director in place — likely family handover, not open to sale. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

1 live charge · oldest 16.1y

65/100

clean up first

Refinance viable after a tidy-up — address the highlighted items first.

· Oldest live charge is 16.1 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
· Legal-friction score 28/100 — 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.

Owner dependency

63/100

High — earn-out structure required

Material founder dependency. Consider a 2-3 year earn-out and build in a handover plan before completion.

FACTORS

-12 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.
+Founder age: Director aged approximately 67 — succession pressure is live.
+Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.

Red flags
