What this business does

Primary activity: Activities of sport clubs

Sector: Arts, entertainment & recreation

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 43/100 (watch), bankability 37/100. Asset purchase likely safer than share purchase given structural signals. Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 9 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: asset disposal / carve-out (45/100). Current lenders should be on monthly review.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

14 live charges · 9 lenders · oldest 41.9y

25/100

too messy

Structure is too messy for a clean refinance right now — clean up first or expect bespoke terms.

· Oldest live charge is 41.9 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· 9 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
· Legal-friction score 75/100 (specialist).

Data confidence

Owner dependency

50/100
