What this business does
Primary activity: SIC 39000
Sector: Water supply & waste
Investor take
PursueAsset-holding vehicle. Family succession underway — not a classic acquisition target.
Opportunity 79/100 (strong), bankability 75/100. Same-surname younger director in place — likely family handover, not open to sale. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).
Data confidence
Overall: medium (74/100)Adequate coverage. AI outputs are reliable for the sections scored high; verify the rest in diligence.
