Company Number: SC676149

Analysis Date: 2025-07-29 14:17 UTC

1. Risk Rating: LOW

Justification: The company demonstrates a positive net asset position, increasing working capital, and no overdue filings or liquidation status. Current assets significantly exceed current liabilities, indicating good short-term liquidity. The director's loan account is transparent and interest-free, with no indications of financial distress or governance issues.

2. Key Concerns:

• Reliance on Director Loan: The company shows a £730 debtor balance due from the director, which while disclosed, indicates some reliance on director funding rather than external financing.
• Trade Creditors After One Year: The presence of £758 in trade creditors falling due after more than one year in 2024 (absent in previous year) warrants review to understand the nature and terms of these liabilities.
• Limited Financial Disclosure: The company benefits from audit exemption and has opted not to file a Profit & Loss account; this limits full insight into operational profitability and cash flow trends.

3. Positive Indicators:

• Strong Liquidity: Cash increased from £225 in 2023 to £7,418 in 2024, and net current assets improved substantially from £1,218 to £6,995.
• Compliance: All statutory filings are up to date with no overdue accounts or confirmation statements.
• Business Stability: The company has maintained a consistent employee base and operates in a stable industry (hairdressing and beauty treatment) with a clear director and owner.

4. Due Diligence Notes:

• Investigate the terms and implications of the £758 trade creditors due after more than one year to assess any potential long-term obligations or restructuring.
• Review the underlying profitability and cash flow generation since P&L details are not publicly available to confirm operational sustainability.
• Assess any contingent liabilities or off-balance-sheet items not disclosed in the abbreviated accounts.
• Confirm the director loan's repayment plan and any impact it may have on future liquidity needs.
