Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)Active trading company. Family succession underway — not a classic acquisition target.
Opportunity 79/100 (strong), bankability 75/100. Same-surname younger director in place — likely family handover, not open to sale. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

Owner dependency
66/100

FACTORS

- +Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.
Succession & seller-readiness
23/100

- secondary12+ year tenure: Director in role 12 years.
