What this business does

Primary activity: Activities of head offices

Sector: Professional, scientific & technical

Investor take

Pursue

Active trading company with a 77-year-old founder — textbook succession opportunity.

Opportunity 77/100 (strong), bankability 80/100. Strong seller-intent signal (63/100, director aged 77). Biggest value-creation lever: Discharge stale live charges. 2 live charge(s) created 15+ years ago — likely paid but undischarged. Clean register. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

2 live charges · oldest 21.8y

65/100

clean up first

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

· Oldest live charge is 21.8 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
· Legal-friction score 38/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.

Data confidence

Overall: medium (61/100)
