What this business does

Primary activity: SIC 16290

Sector: Manufacturing

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed low-transparency controlled group — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 30/100 (pass), bankability 22/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. Asset purchase likely safer than share purchase given structural signals. Biggest value-creation lever: File overdue accounts. Clears statutory overdue flag — immediate bankability uplift for refinance conversations. Most likely exit: asset disposal / carve-out (75/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

4 live charges · 3 lenders · oldest 18.1y

25/100

too messy

Structure is too messy for a clean refinance right now — clean up first or expect bespoke terms.

· Oldest live charge is 18.1 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· 3 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
· Legal-friction score 45/100 (high).
