Owner dependency

55/100
Moderate — manageable with handover

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

FACTORS
  • -5 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.
  • +Founder age: Director aged approximately 68 — succession pressure is live.

Succession & seller-readiness

50/100
Moderate signal

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

SIGNALS
  • primaryFounder aged 63+: Senior director is approximately 68. Approaching typical UK retirement age — succession thinking likely.

Red flags

1 med · 1 low
Name changed recently
medium

Name changes can be benign (rebrand) but can also precede distress, phoenix activity, or buyer concealment.

Evidence: 2025-12-15: certificate-change-of-name-company

Multiple registered office changes
low

Multiple address changes in a short period can indicate operational instability or admin disorder.
