Investor take
Pursue
Strong opportunity: conservative operator with exceptional profile and bankable structure.

Opportunity 81/100 (exceptional), bankability 75/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (78/100).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (75/100)
