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.

What this business does
Primary activity: Information technology consultancy activities
Sector: Information & communication
Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.
Opportunity 60/100 (worth a look), bankability 80/100. Strong seller-intent signal (60/100, director aged 63). Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. 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 (73/100).
🏦
Refinance opportunity
3 live charges · 2 lenders · oldest 9.4y
70/100
ready
Refinance conversation should be productive — structure clean and timing right.
- · Oldest live charge is 9.4 years old — likely at or near maturity.
- · Two lenders — manageable, but coordination required.
- · Legal-friction score 15/100 — clean.
Data confidence
Overall: medium (60/100)Adequate coverage. AI outputs are reliable for the sections scored high; verify the rest in diligence.

FACTORS

- +Senior director age: Director aged approximately 63 — approaching natural succession window.
