55/100
Moderate — manageable with handover

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

  • +Founder age: Director aged approximately 77 — succession pressure is live.

Succession & seller-readiness

70/100

SIGNALS
  • primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 77 years old. Natural succession window is now.
  • secondaryStable-but-static management: Company is 23 years old and no new directors in the last 3 years — succession not yet being planned internally.
