Owner dependency
Some founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.
- +Two-director setup: Only two active directors — typical of owner-managed SMEs but limits succession.

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