Why risky: Not transactable.

What this business does
Primary activity: SIC 35110
Sector: Electricity, gas & energy
Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)
Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 62/100 (worth a look), bankability 80/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Resolve: Company dissolved. Company has been dissolved — it no longer legally exists. Any diligence here is historical only. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

🏦

  • · Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
  • · Legal-friction score 20/100 — clean.
