Owner dependency
60/100

FACTORS

- +Founder age: Director aged approximately 67 — succession pressure is live.
- +Young company: Only 1.1 years old — management layer unlikely to be developed.
Succession & seller-readiness
50/100
Moderate signalSome succession indicators present. Worth watching; approach if sector/strategy fits.
SIGNALS
- primaryFounder aged 63+: Senior director is approximately 67. Approaching typical UK retirement age — succession thinking likely.
