What this business does
Primary activity: SIC 35110
Sector: Electricity, gas & energy
Investor take
Pursue
Active trading company. Family succession underway — not a classic acquisition target.

Opportunity 77/100 (strong), bankability 75/100. Same-surname younger director in place — likely family handover, not open to sale. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).

Data confidence

Overall: high (80/100)

Owner dependency

63/100
High — earn-out structure required

Material founder dependency. Consider a 2-3 year earn-out and build in a handover plan before completion.

FACTORS
  • -4 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.
  • +Founder age: Director aged approximately 75 — succession pressure is live.
  • +Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.

Succession & seller-readiness

20/100
No succession signal

No meaningful acquirability indicators from public data.

SIGNALS
  • primaryFamily succession underway: Not a takeover target — VAN LYNDEN, Tristan John Macrae, Baron (same surname) appointed 2023-04-01. Pattern consistent with intra-family handover.
  • primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 75 years old. Natural succession window is now.

Red flags

clean
No red flags detected from available public data. (This is not a clean bill of health — detailed accounts review still recommended.)
