Owner dependency

60/100

High — earn-out structure required

Material founder dependency. Consider a 2-3 year earn-out and build in a handover plan before completion.

FACTORS

-6 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.
+Founder age: Director aged approximately 69 — succession pressure is live.
+Young company: Only 2.5 years old — management layer unlikely to be developed.

Succession & seller-readiness

50/100

Moderate signal

Some succession indicators present. Worth watching; approach if sector/strategy fits.

SIGNALS

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

Red flags

1 med ·

4 director resignations in last 12 months

medium

Multiple recent departures can indicate governance disagreement, succession event, or preparation for sale/stress.

Evidence: PEGG, Christopher Mark resigned 2025-08-13; FARQUHAR, Peter James resigned 2025-11-15; GILL, Jonathan David resigned 2025-06-17
