Investment thesis

Zombie company — trading but stalled; unlikely mover.

Why risky: No growth signal; thin margin for error on price.

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed active trading company — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 56/100 (worth a look), bankability 60/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Resolve: Confirmation statement overdue. Annual confirmation statement not filed on time. Required statutory filing — overdue is a strong discipline signal. Most likely exit: distressed disposal / insolvency (65/100).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (69/100)

Adequate coverage. AI outputs are reliable for the sections scored high; verify the rest in diligence.

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

30/100

Weak signal

Limited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.

Red flags

1 high · 1 med · 1 low

Confirmation statement overdue

high

Annual confirmation statement not filed on time. Required statutory filing — overdue is a strong discipline signal.

Evidence: Next due: 2026-04-24

Name changed 2 times

medium

Name changes can be benign (rebrand) but can also precede distress, phoenix activity, or buyer concealment.

Evidence: 2025-09-22: certificate-change-of-name-company; 2025-09-22: change-of-name-notice-limited-liability-partnership

Multiple registered office changes

low

Multiple address changes in a short period can indicate operational instability or admin disorder.
