What this business does

Primary activity: Activities of sport clubs

Sector: Arts, entertainment & recreation

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Active trading company. Family succession underway — not a classic acquisition target.

Opportunity 75/100 (strong), bankability 75/100. Same-surname younger director in place — likely family handover, not open to sale. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (79/100)

Adequate coverage. AI outputs are reliable for the sections scored high; verify the rest in diligence.

Owner dependency

96/100

Critical — business is the founder

The business appears inseparable from the founder. Acquisition without a serious earn-out or meaningful transition period would likely destroy value.

FACTORS

+Two-director setup: Only two active directors — typical of owner-managed SMEs but limits succession.
+Founder name in company name: Company name contains director surname "BYRD" — strong identity link between founder and business.
+Founder age: Director aged approximately 84 — succession pressure is live.
+Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.

Succession & seller-readiness

26/100

Weak signal

Limited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.

SIGNALS

primaryFamily succession underway: Not a takeover target — BYRD, Daniel Bowman (same surname) appointed 2026-05-21. Pattern consistent with intra-family handover.
primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 84 years old. Natural succession window is now.
secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.

Red flags

1 med ·

2 director resignations in last 12 months

medium

Multiple recent departures can indicate governance disagreement, succession event, or preparation for sale/stress.

Evidence: BYRD, Daniel Bowman resigned 2026-05-21; BYRD, Robert John resigned 2026-05-21
