Investment thesis

Company dissolved — not a live target.

Why interesting: Historical record only; useful for precedent research.

Why risky: Not transactable.

Opportunity decay

approaching window · 12-months

Approaching a transaction window — refinance or sale event plausible in the next 12 months.

· Oldest live charge 23.2y old — refinance window within 12 months

What this business does

Primary activity: Non-trading company

Sector: Professional, scientific & technical

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed dormant / non-trading — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 50/100 (worth a look), bankability 60/100. Asset purchase likely safer than share purchase given structural signals. Biggest value-creation lever: Resolve: Company dissolved. Company has been dissolved — it no longer legally exists. Any diligence here is historical only. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (50/100). Current lenders should be on monthly review.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

1 live charge · oldest 23.2y

65/100

clean up first

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

· Oldest live charge is 23.2 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
· Legal-friction score 40/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.

Data confidence

Overall: low (53/100)

Sparse data coverage. Treat AI-generated outputs as preliminary. Manual diligence essential.

Owner dependency

55/100

Moderate — manageable with handover

Some founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.

FACTORS

-5 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.
+Founder age: Director aged approximately 70 — succession pressure is live.

Succession & seller-readiness

83/100

Likely off-market candidate

Strong acquirability signals converging. Worth approaching directly — this is how off-market deals start.

SIGNALS

primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 70 years old. Natural succession window is now.
secondary12+ year tenure: Director in role 15 years.
secondaryStable-but-static management: Company is 24 years old and no new directors in the last 3 years — succession not yet being planned internally.
supportingClean filings + long tenure: Disciplined long-tenure operator — classic lifestyle-business pattern that often sells quietly.
