What this business does
Primary activity: Retail sale of clothing in specialised stores
Sector: Wholesale & retail
Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)Distressed active trading company — structural issues outweigh the discount.
Opportunity 72/100 (strong), bankability 67/100. Strong seller-intent signal (73/100, director aged 68). Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 3 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).
🏦
Refinance opportunity
7 live charges · 3 lenders · oldest 19.6y
25/100
too messy
Refinance path is blocked by complexity. Rethink structure or expect bespoke, expensive terms.
- · Oldest live charge is 19.6 years old — likely at or near maturity.
- · 3 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
- · Legal-friction score 30/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
- · Not currently profitable — coverage conversation is a harder sell.

Overall: high (82/100)Strong data coverage across all sections. AI outputs should be trusted with minimal caveats.
