Investment thesis
Company liquidation — 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 15.6y old — refinance window within 12 months

Pass
What this business does
Primary activity: Other telecommunications activities
Sector: Information & communication
Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.
Opportunity 33/100 (pass), bankability 30/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. Asset purchase likely safer than share purchase given structural signals. Biggest value-creation lever: File overdue accounts. Clears statutory overdue flag — immediate bankability uplift for refinance conversations. Most likely exit: distressed disposal / insolvency (65/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.
🏦
Refinance opportunity
1 live charge · oldest 15.6y
65/100
clean up first
Refinance viable after a tidy-up — address the highlighted items first.
- · Oldest live charge is 15.6 years old — likely at or near maturity.
- · Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
- · Legal-friction score 35/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
Data confidence
