Owner dependency

53/100

  • +Senior director age: Director aged approximately 58 — approaching natural succession window.
  • +Young company: Only 1.6 years old — management layer unlikely to be developed.

Succession & seller-readiness

40/100
Moderate signal

Some succession indicators present. Worth watching; approach if sector/strategy fits.

SIGNALS
  • secondaryFounder aged 58+: Senior director is approximately 58. Early succession window.

Red flags

1 med ·
2 director resignations in last 12 months
