What this business does
Primary activity: SIC 99999
Sector: Extraterritorial bodies
Investor take
Special-situation opportunity
Distressed other with salvageable qualities — special-situations priority.

Opportunity 60/100 (worth a look), bankability 72/100. Strong seller-intent signal (60/100, director aged 62). Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 6 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (73/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

8 live charges · 6 lenders · oldest 22.2y

35/100
too messy

Refinance path is blocked by complexity. Rethink structure or expect bespoke, expensive terms.

  • · Oldest live charge is 22.2 years old — likely at or near maturity.
  • · 6 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
  • · Legal-friction score 30/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
