What this business does
Primary activity: Activities of head offices
Sector: Professional, scientific & technical
Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)
Distressed active trading company — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 60/100 (worth a look), bankability 57/100. Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 5 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (58/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

9 live charges · 5 lenders · oldest 2.9y

0/100
too messy

Refinance path is blocked by complexity. Rethink structure or expect bespoke, expensive terms.

  • · Newest facility, 2.9 years old — likely still in initial term.
  • · 5 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
  • · Legal-friction score 30/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.

Data confidence

Overall: medium (59/100)

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

Owner dependency

58/100
Moderate — manageable with handover

Some founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.

FACTORS
  • +Two-director setup: Only two active directors — typical of owner-managed SMEs but limits succession.

Succession & seller-readiness

36/100
Weak signal

Limited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.

SIGNALS
  • secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.

Red flags

1 high · 2 med · 1 low

Evidence: 2026-03-16: A registered charge; 2026-03-10: A registered charge; 2026-03-10: A registered charge

Charge satisfaction-then-recreation pattern
