What this business does

Primary activity: Other business support service activities n.e.c.

Sector: Administrative & support services

Investor take

Pursue

Strong opportunity: leverage-led grower with strong profile and bankable structure.

Opportunity 79/100 (strong), bankability 75/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Discharge stale live charges. 1 live charge(s) created 15+ years ago — likely paid but undischarged. Clean register. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (77/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

3 live charges · 2 lenders · oldest 22.0y

60/100

clean up first

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

· Oldest live charge is 22.0 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Two lenders — manageable, but coordination required.
· Legal-friction score 38/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
· Profitable and stable/growing — lender coverage supportable.
