Owner dependency

83/100

Critical — business is the founder

The business appears inseparable from the founder. Acquisition without a serious earn-out or meaningful transition period would likely destroy value.

FACTORS

-5 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.
+Founder name in company name: Company name contains director surname "SKENE" — strong identity link between founder and business.
+Founder age: Director aged approximately 87 — succession pressure is live.
+Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.
+Young company: Only 0.5 years old — management layer unlikely to be developed.

Succession & seller-readiness

60/100

SIGNALS
