Investor take
PursueAsset-holding vehicle. Family succession underway — not a classic acquisition target.
Opportunity 76/100 (strong), bankability 65/100. Same-surname younger director in place — likely family handover, not open to sale. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).
