What this business does

Primary activity: Activities of head offices

Sector: Professional, scientific & technical

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 43/100 (watch), bankability 52/100. 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: Consolidate lender relationships. 3 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: asset disposal / carve-out (30/100). Current lenders should be on monthly review.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

3 live charges · 3 lenders · oldest 16.2y

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 16.2 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· 3 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
· Legal-friction score 50/100 (high).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (59/100)

Adequate coverage. AI outputs are reliable for the sections scored high; verify the rest in diligence.
