Owner dependency
45/100
Moderate — manageable with handoverSome founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.
FACTORS
- -4 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.
- +Young company: Only 1.4 years old — management layer unlikely to be developed.
Succession & seller-readiness
30/100
Weak signalLimited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.
Red flags
cleanNo red flags detected from available public data. (This is not a clean bill of health — detailed accounts review still recommended.)
