Why risky: Not transactable.

What this business does
Primary activity: SIC 47749
Sector: Wholesale & retail
Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.
Opportunity 46/100 (watch), bankability 60/100. 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: 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 (43/100). Current lenders should be on monthly review.
🏦
Refinance opportunity
1 live charge · oldest 19.8y
65/100
clean up first
Refinance viable after a tidy-up — address the highlighted items first.
- · Oldest live charge is 19.8 years old — likely at or near maturity.
- · Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
- · Legal-friction score 40/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
Data confidence
Overall: medium (60/100)Adequate coverage. AI outputs are reliable for the sections scored high; verify the rest in diligence.
