ACORN BEAUTY JESMOND LIMITED
Opportunity 71/100 (strong), bankability 70/100. 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: strategic trade sale (70/100).

Succession & seller-readiness
Some succession indicators present. Worth watching; approach if sector/strategy fits.
