Investment thesis
Company liquidation — not a live target.
Why interesting: Historical record only; useful for precedent research.
Why risky: Not transactable.
Opportunity decay
approaching window · 12-months
Approaching a transaction window — refinance or sale event plausible in the next 12 months.
  • · Oldest live charge 6.8y old — refinance window within 12 months

What this business does
Primary activity: Other business support service activities n.e.c.
Sector: Administrative & support services
Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)
Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 49/100 (watch), bankability 60/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. Asset purchase likely safer than share purchase given structural signals. Biggest value-creation lever: Resolve: Company in liquidation. Company is actively being wound up. Not a going concern. Most likely exit: distressed disposal / insolvency (85/100). Current lenders should be on monthly review.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

1 live charge · oldest 6.8y

65/100
clean up first

Refinance viable after a tidy-up — address the highlighted items first.

  • · Oldest live charge is 6.8 years old — likely at or near maturity.
  • · Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
  • · Legal-friction score 35/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
