TAILORED IMAGE LTD
Opportunity 80/100 (exceptional), bankability 67/100. Strong seller-intent signal (60/100, director aged 63). Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure.

Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (78/100).

Succession & seller-readiness
Strong acquirability signals converging. Worth approaching directly — this is how off-market deals start.
- primaryFounder aged 63+: Senior director is approximately 63. Approaching typical UK retirement age — succession thinking likely.
- primary20+ year tenure: Director in role 28 years. Very long tenure is a classic succession signal.
- secondaryStable-but-static management: Company is 28 years old and no new directors in the last 3 years — succession not yet being planned internally.
