Primary activity: SIC 30110

Sector: Manufacturing

Investor take

Pursue

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

Opportunity 79/100 (strong), bankability 80/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Discharge stale live charges. 2 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

4 live charges · oldest 29.3y

65/100

clean up first

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

· Oldest live charge is 29.3 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
· Legal-friction score 38/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
