What this business does

Primary activity: SIC 35300

Sector: Electricity, gas & energy

Opportunity 80/100 (exceptional), bankability 75/100. Strong seller-intent signal (63/100, director aged 70). Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (78/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

6 live charges · 2 lenders · oldest 12.5y

50/100

clean up first

Refinance viable after a tidy-up — address the highlighted items first.

· Oldest live charge is 12.5 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Two lenders — manageable, but coordination required.
· Legal-friction score 28/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
