Investor take

Pursue

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

Opportunity 77/100 (strong), bankability 80/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

Refinance opportunity

1 live charge · oldest 0.6y

30/100

too messy

Refinance path is blocked by complexity. Rethink structure or expect bespoke, expensive terms.

· Newest facility, 0.6 years old — likely still in initial term.
· Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
· Legal-friction score 28/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.

Data confidence

Overall: medium (64/100)

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