What this business does

Primary activity: Non-trading company

Sector: Professional, scientific & technical

Investor take

Pursue

Strong opportunity: dormant / non-trading with strong profile and acceptable with review structure.

Opportunity 77/100 (strong), bankability 67/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 3 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

🏦

clean up first

· Oldest live charge is 10.5 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Two lenders — manageable, but coordination required.
· Legal-friction score 25/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
