Owner dependency

40/100

Moderate — manageable with handover

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

FACTORS

-4 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.

Succession & seller-readiness

35/100

Weak signal

Limited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.

SIGNALS

supportingClean filings + long tenure: Disciplined long-tenure operator — classic lifestyle-business pattern that often sells quietly.

Red flags

1 med ·

2 director resignations in last 12 months
