Investment thesis
Company receivership — not a live target.
Why interesting: Historical record only; useful for precedent research.
Why risky: Not transactable.

Sector: Professional, scientific & technical
Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)
Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 31/100 (pass), bankability 15/100. 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: asset disposal / carve-out (30/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.

Refinance opportunity

4 live charges · oldest 21.3y

55/100
too messy

Structure is too messy for a clean refinance right now — clean up first or expect bespoke terms.

  • · Oldest live charge is 21.3 years old — likely at or near maturity.
  • · Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
  • · Legal-friction score 45/100 (high).

Data confidence
