Owner dependency

58/100

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

FACTORS

Succession & seller-readiness

36/100
Weak signal

Limited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.

SIGNALS
  • secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.

Red flags

clean
