Investment thesis
Established operating company — standard diligence applies, no dominant angle.
Why interesting: Live, filing, normal profile.
Why risky: No standout signals in either direction.
Opportunity decay
approaching window · 12-months

What this business does
Primary activity: Tax consultancy
Sector: Professional, scientific & technical
Investor take
Pursue
Strong opportunity: active trading company with strong profile and bankable structure.

Opportunity 72/100 (strong), bankability 85/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (63/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

1 live charge · oldest 6.0y

75/100
ready

Refinance conversation should be productive — structure clean and timing right.

  • · Oldest live charge is 6.0 years old — likely at or near maturity.
  • · Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
  • · Legal-friction score 20/100 — clean.
  • · Not currently profitable — coverage conversation is a harder sell.

Owner dependency

50/100
Moderate — manageable with handover

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

Succession & seller-readiness

30/100
Weak signal

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

Red flags

1 med ·
Name changed recently
medium

Name changes can be benign (rebrand) but can also precede distress, phoenix activity, or buyer concealment.
