Why risky: Price often leads fundamentals; dependency on founder often high.

Owner dependency
73/100
High — earn-out structure requiredMaterial founder dependency. Consider a 2-3 year earn-out and build in a handover plan before completion.
FACTORS
- +Two-director setup: Only two active directors — typical of owner-managed SMEs but limits succession.
- +Founder age: Director aged approximately 72 — succession pressure is live.

SIGNALS
- primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 72 years old. Natural succession window is now.
