Opportunity 65/100 (strong), bankability 65/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: strategic trade sale (63/100).
Data confidence

Owner dependency
Material founder dependency. Consider a 2-3 year earn-out and build in a handover plan before completion.
- +Two-director setup: Only two active directors — typical of owner-managed SMEs but limits succession.
- +Young company: Only 1.3 years old — management layer unlikely to be developed.
Succession & seller-readiness
Limited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.
- secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.
Red flags
2 med · 1 lowMultiple recent departures can indicate governance disagreement, succession event, or preparation for sale/stress.
Evidence: ANDERSON, Jack resigned 2025-07-09; ANDERSON, Mark resigned 2025-07-09; DEMPSIE, Mark William resigned 2026-04-16
Name changes can be benign (rebrand) but can also precede distress, phoenix activity, or buyer concealment.
Evidence: 2026-03-26: certificate-change-of-name-company
Multiple address changes in a short period can indicate operational instability or admin disorder.
