YOUNG ENTERPRISE - SCOTLAND

⚰️Wound downliquidation

SC133649 · private-limited-guarant-nsc-limited-exemption · incorporated 1991-08-26

Investment thesis

Company liquidation — not a live target.

Why interesting: Historical record only; useful for precedent research.

Why risky: Not transactable.

Opportunity decay

approaching window · 12-months

Approaching a transaction window — refinance or sale event plausible in the next 12 months.

· Oldest live charge 15.2y old — refinance window within 12 months

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 41/100 (watch), bankability 30/100. 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 opportunity

1 live charge · oldest 15.2y

55/100

too messy

Structure is too messy for a clean refinance right now — clean up first or expect bespoke terms.

· Oldest live charge is 15.2 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
· Legal-friction score 48/100 (high).

Data confidence

Overall: medium (73/100)

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

50/100
