CERTAINLY STUFF LTD - Analysis Report

Company Number: 14386974

Analysis Date: 2025-07-29 12:17 UTC

1. Credit Opinion: APPROVE – Certainly Stuff Ltd demonstrates a strong and improving financial position, with significant growth in net assets over the past year. The company is active, with no overdue filings or signs of distress. The director is the sole controller and appears to maintain good governance. Given the micro-entity status and recent incorporation, credit exposure should be limited but the company’s financial trajectory supports extending credit on standard commercial terms.

2. Financial Strength: The balance sheet reflects substantial improvement from £8,942 net assets in 2023 to £142,115 in 2024. This growth is primarily driven by increases in current assets, notably cash or receivables, with a solid fixed asset base. Current liabilities increased but remain well covered by current assets, resulting in a healthy working capital position. Shareholders’ funds mirror net assets indicating no hidden liabilities. Overall, the company has a strong capital base for its size.

3. Cash Flow Assessment: Net current assets rose sharply to £125,098, suggesting strong liquidity and capacity to meet short-term obligations. The current ratio (Current Assets / Current Liabilities) is approximately 5.8x, indicating excellent short-term financial health. However, note the director’s interest-free advance of £2,761 which remains outstanding; this is a minor item but should be monitored. The increase in employees from 1 to 3 indicates operational expansion which may affect future cash flow needs.

4. Monitoring Points:

• Monitor the company’s ability to maintain or improve profitability and cash flow as operations scale.
• Watch for any related party transactions such as director advances that could affect liquidity.
• Verify timely filing of returns and accounts continuing as the company grows.
• Track working capital trends and any increase in liabilities that might impair liquidity.
• Assess the impact of market conditions on their IT consultancy sector, especially if growth plateaus.
