Investor take

Pursue

Active trading company with a 67-year-old founder — textbook succession opportunity.

Opportunity 77/100 (strong), bankability 80/100. Strong seller-intent signal (63/100, director aged 67). Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

1 live charge · oldest 5.2y

65/100

clean up first

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

· Oldest live charge is 5.2 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
· Legal-friction score 28/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
