Owner dependency

55/100

Moderate — manageable with handover

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

+Founder age: Director aged approximately 76 — succession pressure is live.

Succession & seller-readiness

65/100

Strong succession signal

SIGNALS

primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 76 years old. Natural succession window is now.
