No snapshot from 180 days ago — start tracking from today.
Opportunity 72/100 (strong), bankability 65/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Cash flow review and working-capital discipline. Cash down -92% YoY — forensic review of receivables, stock turns, and creditor days. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

- · Newest facility, 1.7 years old — likely still in initial term.
- · Two lenders — manageable, but coordination required.
- · Cashflow trend is negative — lender view likely cautious.
Data confidence
Overall: high (87/100)Strong data coverage across all sections. AI outputs should be trusted with minimal caveats.
