Zombie company — trading but stalled; unlikely mover.

What this business does

Located at a London address, this active business most likely operates a licensed restaurant or takeaway food outlet, serving prepared meals and drinks to customers either for dining in or collection, possibly trading under a branded concept at its Bute Street premises.

Primary activity: Licenced restaurants
Sector: Accommodation & food service
ALSO REGISTERED FOR
  • 56103Take-away food shops and mobile food stands
Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)
Distressed active trading company — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 72/100 (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: Broaden director team. Sole director creates succession risk and reduces buyer comfort. Appoint a second director or strong #2. Most likely exit: distressed disposal / insolvency (65/100).

Refinance opportunity

1 live charge · oldest 4.1y

35/100
under pressure

Refinance would be pressure-driven, not opportunity-driven. Expect tighter margins and covenant scrutiny.

  • · Charge age ~4.1 years — mid-life; refi window approaching.
  • · Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
  • · Distress signals active — lender appetite narrows.

Data confidence

Overall: high (82/100)

Strong data coverage across all sections. AI outputs should be trusted with minimal caveats.
