What this business does

Primary activity: Other specialised construction activities n.e.c.

Sector: Construction

Investor take

Special-situation opportunity

Distressed construction with salvageable qualities — special-situations priority.

Opportunity 61/100 (worth a look), bankability 50/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: File overdue accounts. Clears statutory overdue flag — immediate bankability uplift for refinance conversations. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (38/100).

Overall: high (80/100)
