Primary activity: Activities of head offices
Sector: Professional, scientific & technical
Investor take
Pursue
Strong opportunity: active trading company with strong profile and bankable structure.

Opportunity 79/100 (strong), bankability 80/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Discharge stale live charges. 1 live charge(s) created 15+ years ago — likely paid but undischarged. Clean register. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

🏦

  • · Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
  • · Legal-friction score 38/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.

Succession & seller-readiness

53/100

SIGNALS
  • secondaryFounder aged 58+: Senior director is approximately 60. Early succession window.
  • secondary12+ year tenure: Director in role 13 years.
