What this business does
Primary activity: SIC 99999
Sector: Extraterritorial bodies
Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)
Distressed admin-neglect survivor — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 54/100 (worth a look), bankability 37/100. 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 (50/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

16 live charges · 10 lenders · oldest 42.7y

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 42.7 years old — likely at or near maturity.
  • · 10 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
  • · Legal-friction score 55/100 (high).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (61/100)

Adequate coverage. AI outputs are reliable for the sections scored high; verify the rest in diligence.

  • secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.
