What this business does

Primary activity: Other building completion and finishing

Sector: Construction

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed admin-neglect survivor — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 47/100 (watch), bankability 45/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: File overdue accounts. Clears statutory overdue flag — immediate bankability uplift for refinance conversations. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (38/100). Current lenders should be on monthly review.

Data confidence

Overall: medium (76/100)

Adequate coverage. AI outputs are reliable for the sections scored high; verify the rest in diligence.

Owner dependency

50/100

Moderate — manageable with handover

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

Succession & seller-readiness

30/100

Weak signal

Limited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.

Red flags

Evidence: Next due: 2022-11-15

No active directors on record

high
