Pursue

Opportunity 79/100 (strong), bankability 85/100. Strong seller-intent signal (60/100, director aged 60). Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

2 live charges · 2 lenders · oldest 53.9y

50/100

clean up first

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

· Oldest live charge is 53.9 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Two lenders — manageable, but coordination required.
· Legal-friction score 28/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.

Owner dependency

58/100

Moderate — manageable with handover

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

FACTORS

-8 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.
+Long-tenure founder: Senior director has been in place 21 years — deep operational knowledge concentrated in one person.
+Senior director age: Director aged approximately 60 — approaching natural succession window.

Succession & seller-readiness

60/100

SIGNALS

primary20+ year tenure: Director in role 21 years. Very long tenure is a classic succession signal.
