What this business does

Primary activity: Other activities auxiliary to financial services, except insurance and pension funding

Sector: Financial & insurance

ALSO REGISTERED FOR

70229Management consultancy activities other than financial management

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 61/100 (worth a look), bankability 70/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. 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 (73/100).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (59/100)

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

Owner dependency

66/100

High — earn-out structure required

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

FACTORS

+Senior director age: Director aged approximately 61 — approaching natural succession window.

Succession & seller-readiness

46/100

Moderate signal

Some succession indicators present. Worth watching; approach if sector/strategy fits.

SIGNALS

secondaryFounder aged 58+: Senior director is approximately 61. Early succession window.
secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.
