Owner dependency

50/100
Moderate — manageable with handover

Some founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.

Succession & seller-readiness

40/100
Moderate signal

Some succession indicators present. Worth watching; approach if sector/strategy fits.

SIGNALS
  • secondaryStable-but-static management: Company is 23 years old and no new directors in the last 3 years — succession not yet being planned internally.
