What this business does

Primary activity: SIC 19201

Sector: Manufacturing

Investor take

Pursue

Strong opportunity: active trading company with strong profile and acceptable with review structure.

Opportunity 74/100 (strong), bankability 70/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Discharge stale live charges. 3 live charge(s) created 15+ years ago — likely paid but undischarged. Clean register. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

6 live charges · 2 lenders · oldest 20.1y

50/100

clean up first

Refinance viable after a tidy-up — address the highlighted items first.

· Oldest live charge is 20.1 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Two lenders — manageable, but coordination required.
· Legal-friction score 38/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.

Overall: medium (60/100)
