Investor take
PursueActive trading company with a 69-year-old founder — textbook succession opportunity.
Opportunity 73/100 (strong), bankability 57/100. Strong seller-intent signal (63/100, director aged 69). Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 15 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence.
