What this business does
Primary activity: Activities of mortgage finance companies
Sector: Financial & insurance
Investor take
Pursue
Strong opportunity: asset-holding vehicle with strong profile and bankable structure.

Opportunity 70/100 (strong), bankability 75/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Cash flow review and working-capital discipline. Cash down -32% YoY — forensic review of receivables, stock turns, and creditor days. Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (65/100).
