Owner dependency

- +Founder name in company name: Company name contains director surname "LIMITED" — strong identity link between founder and business.

- +Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.
- +Young company: Only 1.5 years old — management layer unlikely to be developed.
