What this business does

Primary activity: SIC 35140

Sector: Electricity, gas & energy

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed admin-neglect survivor — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 55/100 (worth a look), bankability 45/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: File overdue accounts. Clears statutory overdue flag — immediate bankability uplift for refinance conversations. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (38/100). Current lenders should be on monthly review.

Data confidence

Overall: medium (77/100)

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