Material founder dependency. Consider a 2-3 year earn-out and build in a handover plan before completion.
- +Senior director age: Director aged approximately 63 — approaching natural succession window.
- +Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.
- +Young company: Only 3.0 years old — management layer unlikely to be developed.

Some succession indicators present. Worth watching; approach if sector/strategy fits.
- primaryFounder aged 63+: Senior director is approximately 63. Approaching typical UK retirement age — succession thinking likely.
