What this business does

Primary activity: SIC 01410

Sector: Agriculture, forestry & fishing

Investor take

Pursue

Active trading company. Family succession underway — not a classic acquisition target.

Opportunity 74/100 (strong), bankability 65/100. Same-surname younger director in place — likely family handover, not open to sale. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

5 live charges · 2 lenders · oldest 13.8y

70/100

ready

Refinance conversation should be productive — structure clean and timing right.

· 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.

Data confidence

Overall: medium (78/100)

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

Owner dependency

71/100

High — earn-out structure required

Material founder dependency. Consider a 2-3 year earn-out and build in a handover plan before completion.

FACTORS

-4 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.
+Founder name in company name: Company name contains director surname "TURNER" — strong identity link between founder and business.
+Senior director age: Director aged approximately 60 — approaching natural succession window.
+Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.

Red flags

1 med · 1 low

2 director resignations in last 12 months

medium

Multiple recent departures can indicate governance disagreement, succession event, or preparation for sale/stress.

Evidence: TURNER, Diana Margaret resigned 2026-02-20; TURNER, Leslie John resigned 2026-02-20

5 live charges

low

Heavily leveraged with multiple live security positions — understand the capital structure before proceeding.
