LION YARD LIMITED
Opportunity 73/100 (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).
Data confidence
Overall: low (47/100)Sparse data coverage. Treat AI-generated outputs as preliminary. Manual diligence essential.
Solid opportunity signal. Worth a dedicated memo and management meeting.

- +Founder age: Director aged approximately 82 — succession pressure is live.
- +Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.
- +Young company: Only 1.9 years old — management layer unlikely to be developed.
