What this business does
Primary activity: Construction of commercial buildings
Sector: Construction
Investor take
PursueStrong opportunity: conservative operator 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: strategic trade sale (78/100).
🏦
Refinance opportunity

clean up first

- · Oldest live charge is 21.1 years old — likely at or near maturity.
- · Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
- · Legal-friction score 30/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
