What this business does

Primary activity: Other business support service activities n.e.c.

Sector: Administrative & support services

ALSO REGISTERED FOR

Investor take

Pursue

Strong opportunity: conservative operator with strong profile and bankable structure.

Opportunity 79/100 (strong), bankability 80/100. 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: strategic trade sale (78/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

1 live charge · oldest 19.4y

65/100

clean up first

Refinance viable after a tidy-up — address the highlighted items first.

· Oldest live charge is 19.4 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
· Legal-friction score 30/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
