RENESOLA UK LIMITED
- · Oldest live charge 9.8y old — refinance window within 12 months
Opportunity 38/100 (watch), bankability 25/100. 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: distressed disposal / insolvency (65/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.

Refinance viable after a tidy-up — address the highlighted items first.
- · Oldest live charge is 9.8 years old — likely at or near maturity.
- · Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
- · Legal-friction score 35/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
Data confidence
Overall: medium (72/100)Adequate coverage. AI outputs are reliable for the sections scored high; verify the rest in diligence.
Not actionable now, but monitor — distressed, succession, or structural changes could flip this into a real opportunity.
