What this business does

Primary activity: Non-life insurance

Sector: Financial & insurance

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed active trading company — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 65/100 (strong), bankability 75/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Resolve: 1 insolvency-related filing on record. Filings relating to insolvency, liquidation, or administration exist in the company's history. Review before proceeding. Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (73/100).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (59/100)

Owner dependency

58/100

Moderate — manageable with handover

Some founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.

FACTORS

+Two-director setup: Only two active directors — typical of owner-managed SMEs but limits succession.

Succession & seller-readiness

36/100

Weak signal

Limited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.

SIGNALS

secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.

Red flags

1 high · 1 med ·

1 insolvency-related filing on record

high

Filings relating to insolvency, liquidation, or administration exist in the company's history. Review before proceeding.

Evidence: 2026-07-07: legacy

2 director resignations in last 12 months

medium

Multiple recent departures can indicate governance disagreement, succession event, or preparation for sale/stress.

Evidence: TUPLIN, Richard resigned 2025-12-03; YEANDLE, James resigned 2026-05-05
