Owner dependency

63/100

+Founder age: Director aged approximately 71 — succession pressure is live.
+Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.

Succession & seller-readiness

73/100

SIGNALS

primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 71 years old. Natural succession window is now.
