1E LIMITED
Company number 03401322 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
1E LIMITED operates as a subordinate entity within a Carlyle Group-backed IT services portfolio, functioning as an operational/employer vehicle rather than an independent commercial competitor. Its financial profile — negligible turnover against 266 employees, negative net assets, and heavy intercompany creditor dependence — is consistent with an intra-group cost centre sustained by parent funding, not a standalone IT reseller. While the entity benefits from group financial backing and institutional longevity, its balance sheet insolvency at the entity level and absence of independent revenue generation mean its viability is entirely contingent on continued group support.
