Worth a look
Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)Distressed active trading company — structural issues outweigh the discount.
Opportunity 61/100 (worth a look), bankability 75/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Resolve: No active directors on record. Company is active but has no current directors in the register. This is unusual and should be investigated. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (58/100).
Data confidence
Overall: low (41/100)Sparse data coverage. Treat AI-generated outputs as preliminary. Manual diligence essential.

Owner dependency
55/100
Moderate — manageable with handoverSome founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.
FACTORS
- +No director turnover: Company is 9 years old with no director changes — suggests a very tight-knit founder team never broadened.
Succession & seller-readiness
30/100
Weak signalLimited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.
Red flags
1 high ·No active directors on record
highCompany is active but has no current directors in the register. This is unusual and should be investigated.
