Investor take
PursueStrong opportunity: active trading company with strong profile and acceptable with review structure.
Opportunity 76/100 (strong), bankability 65/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

Owner dependency
68/100

FACTORS

- +Founder age: Director aged approximately 80 — succession pressure is live.
- +Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.
- +Young company: Only 1.4 years old — management layer unlikely to be developed.
