What this business does
Primary activity: SIC 10910
Sector: Manufacturing
Investor take
Pursue
Conservative operator with a 72-year-old founder — textbook succession opportunity.

Opportunity 78/100 (strong), bankability 75/100. Strong seller-intent signal (73/100, director aged 72). Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (78/100).

🏦

4 live charges · 2 lenders · oldest 13.8y

ready

  • · Oldest live charge is 13.8 years old — likely at or near maturity.
  • · Two lenders — manageable, but coordination required.
  • · Legal-friction score 15/100 — clean.
  • · Profitable and stable/growing — lender coverage supportable.

Data confidence

Overall: medium (73/100)
