What this business does

Primary activity: Data processing, hosting and related activities

Sector: Information & communication

Investor take

Pursue

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

Opportunity 77/100 (strong), bankability 85/100. Strong seller-intent signal (60/100, director aged 59). Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (73/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

3 live charges · 2 lenders · oldest 24.7y

60/100

clean up first

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

· Oldest live charge is 24.7 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Two lenders — manageable, but coordination required.
· Legal-friction score 20/100 — clean.
· Not currently profitable — coverage conversation is a harder sell.

Data confidence

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