Opportunity 33/100 (pass), bankability 30/100. 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: File overdue accounts. Clears statutory overdue flag — immediate bankability uplift for refinance conversations. Most likely exit: distressed disposal / insolvency (65/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.
Refinance opportunity
1 live charge · oldest 2.6y
Refinance path is blocked by complexity. Rethink structure or expect bespoke, expensive terms.
- · Newest facility, 2.6 years old — likely still in initial term.
- · Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
- · Legal-friction score 35/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
Data confidence
Overall: high (81/100)Strong data coverage across all sections. AI outputs should be trusted with minimal caveats.
Clear signal to pass. Time better spent elsewhere unless you have a specific strategic angle.
