Owner dependency
Material founder dependency. Consider a 2-3 year earn-out and build in a handover plan before completion.
- +Founder name in company name: Company name contains director surname "SCOBIE" — strong identity link between founder and business.
- +Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.
- +Young company: Only 2.3 years old — management layer unlikely to be developed.
Succession & seller-readiness
Limited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.
