KMV DISTRIBUTORS LIMITED

⚰️Wound downliquidation

SC094644 · ltd · incorporated 1985-08-09

Investment thesis

Company liquidation — not a live target.

Why interesting: Historical record only; useful for precedent research.

Why risky: Not transactable.

Opportunity decay

approaching window · 12-months

Approaching a transaction window — refinance or sale event plausible in the next 12 months.

· Oldest live charge 40.2y old — refinance window within 12 months

What this business does

Primary activity: SIC 5248

Sector: Transportation & storage

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 31/100 (pass), bankability 15/100. Asset purchase likely safer than share purchase given structural signals. Biggest value-creation lever: File overdue accounts. Clears statutory overdue flag — immediate bankability uplift for refinance conversations. Most likely exit: distressed disposal / insolvency (65/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

5 live charges · oldest 40.2y

55/100

too messy

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

· Oldest live charge is 40.2 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
· Legal-friction score 45/100 (high).

Data confidence

SIGNALS

secondaryStable-but-static management: Company is 41 years old and no new directors in the last 3 years — succession not yet being planned internally.
