Moderate — manageable with handover

Some founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.

FACTORS

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

Succession & seller-readiness

73/100

SIGNALS
  • primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 70 years old. Natural succession window is now.
  • secondary12+ year tenure: Director in role 13 years.
