What this business does
Primary activity: Other letting and operating of own or leased real estate
Sector: Real estate
Investor take
PursueStrong opportunity: property-backed borrower with exceptional profile and bankable structure.
Opportunity 83/100 (exceptional), bankability 80/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Discharge stale live charges. 2 live charge(s) created 15+ years ago — likely paid but undischarged. Clean register. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

clean up first
Refinance viable after a tidy-up — address the highlighted items first.
- · Oldest live charge is 17.4 years old — likely at or near maturity.
- · Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
- · Legal-friction score 25/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
