What this business does

Primary activity: Operation of sports facilities

Sector: Arts, entertainment & recreation

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed active trading company — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 68/100 (strong), bankability 60/100. Strong seller-intent signal (73/100, director aged 75). Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (50/100).

Refinance opportunity

3 live charges · 2 lenders · oldest 29.4y

50/100

clean up first

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

· Oldest live charge is 29.4 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Two lenders — manageable, but coordination required.
· Legal-friction score 40/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
