Owner dependency

55/100
Moderate — manageable with handover

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

  • +Founder age: Director aged approximately 69 — succession pressure is live.

Succession & seller-readiness

50/100
Moderate signal

SIGNALS
  • primaryFounder aged 63+: Senior director is approximately 69. Approaching typical UK retirement age — succession thinking likely.
