Company dissolved — not a live target.

Why interesting: Historical record only; useful for precedent research.

Why risky: Not transactable.

Opportunity decay

Approaching a transaction window — refinance or sale event plausible in the next 12 months.

· Oldest live charge 9.2y old — refinance window within 12 months

What this business does

Primary activity: Other letting and operating of own or leased real estate

Sector: Real estate

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed property-backed borrower — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 62/100 (worth a look), bankability 75/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Resolve: Company dissolved. Company has been dissolved — it no longer legally exists. Any diligence here is historical only. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

🏦

Owner dependency

55/100

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

65/100

Strong succession signal

Multiple signals suggest succession is on the horizon. Candidate for proactive outreach.

SIGNALS

primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 70 years old. Natural succession window is now.
supportingClean filings + long tenure: Disciplined long-tenure operator — classic lifestyle-business pattern that often sells quietly.
