Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)
Distressed active trading company — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 72/100 (strong), bankability 67/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 4 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: distressed disposal / insolvency (65/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

3 live charges · 3 lenders · oldest 1.6y

0/100
too messy

Refinance path is blocked by complexity. Rethink structure or expect bespoke, expensive terms.

  • · Newest facility, 1.6 years old — likely still in initial term.
  • · 3 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
  • · Legal-friction score 33/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
