What this business does
Primary activity: SIC 38220
Sector: Water supply & waste
Investor take
Pursue
Active trading company with a 61-year-old founder — textbook succession opportunity.

Opportunity 78/100 (strong), bankability 77/100. Strong seller-intent signal (65/100, director aged 61). Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 4 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (73/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

7 live charges · 4 lenders · oldest 15.5y

35/100
too messy

Refinance path is blocked by complexity. Rethink structure or expect bespoke, expensive terms.

  • · Oldest live charge is 15.5 years old — likely at or near maturity.
  • · 4 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
  • · Legal-friction score 30/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.

  • +Senior director age: Director aged approximately 61 — approaching natural succession window.

SIGNALS
