What this business does

Primary activity: Business and domestic software development

Sector: Information & communication

Investor take

Pursue

Active trading company with a 63-year-old founder — textbook succession opportunity.

Opportunity 77/100 (strong), bankability 85/100. Strong seller-intent signal (60/100, director aged 63). Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (73/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

3 live charges · 2 lenders · oldest 9.2y

50/100

clean up first

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

· Oldest live charge is 9.2 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Two lenders — manageable, but coordination required.
· Legal-friction score 28/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
