BLUE SEAS ADJUSTERS LIMITED
- · Oldest live charge 21.0y old — refinance window within 12 months
Opportunity 80/100 (exceptional), bankability 80/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Discharge stale live charges. 1 live charge(s) created 15+ years ago — likely paid but undischarged. Clean register. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (73/100).

- · Oldest live charge is 21.0 years old — likely at or near maturity.

Succession & seller-readiness
Multiple signals suggest succession is on the horizon. Candidate for proactive outreach.
