What this business does
Primary activity: SIC 4521
Sector: Wholesale & retail
Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)Distressed low-transparency controlled group — structural issues outweigh the discount.
Opportunity 37/100 (watch), bankability 2/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. Asset purchase likely safer than share purchase given structural signals. Biggest value-creation lever: File overdue accounts. Clears statutory overdue flag — immediate bankability uplift for refinance conversations. Most likely exit: asset disposal / carve-out (100/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.
🏦
Refinance opportunity
28 live charges · 6 lenders · oldest 52.9y
25/100
too messy
Structure is too messy for a clean refinance right now — clean up first or expect bespoke terms.
- · Oldest live charge is 52.9 years old — likely at or near maturity.
- · 6 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
- · Legal-friction score 70/100 (specialist).
