Owner dependency
40/100
Moderate — manageable with handoverSome founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.
FACTORS
- -4 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.
Succession & seller-readiness
30/100
Weak signalLimited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.
Red flags
3 med ·Has insolvency history
mediumCompanies House flags prior insolvency events. Review the insolvency filings for context.
2 director resignations in last 12 months
mediumMultiple recent departures can indicate governance disagreement, succession event, or preparation for sale/stress.
Evidence: CZULOWSKI, Mary Bethan resigned 2025-09-23; GILL, Paul Ellis resigned 2025-12-19
Name changed recently
mediumName changes can be benign (rebrand) but can also precede distress, phoenix activity, or buyer concealment.
