Owner dependency
73/100
High — earn-out structure requiredMaterial founder dependency. Consider a 2-3 year earn-out and build in a handover plan before completion.
FACTORS
- +Two-director setup: Only two active directors — typical of owner-managed SMEs but limits succession.
- +Founder age: Director aged approximately 74 — succession pressure is live.
Succession & seller-readiness
71/100

SIGNALS

- secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.
