Owner dependency

48/100

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

Succession & seller-readiness

40/100

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.

Red flags

2 med ·

medium
