55/100

+Founder age: Director aged approximately 70 — succession pressure is live.

Succession & seller-readiness

60/100

Strong succession signal

SIGNALS

primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 70 years old. Natural succession window is now.

Red flags

clean

No red flags detected from available public data. (This is not a clean bill of health — detailed accounts review still recommended.)
