55/100

+Founder age: Director aged approximately 65 — succession pressure is live.

Succession & seller-readiness

50/100

Some succession indicators present. Worth watching; approach if sector/strategy fits.

SIGNALS

primaryFounder aged 63+: Senior director is approximately 65. Approaching typical UK retirement age — succession thinking likely.
