A & A BUSINESS SUPPLIES LIMITED
Company number 03131986 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
A & A Business Supplies Limited is profitable but perilously illiquid, suffering from a severe cash flow blockage evidenced by a zero-cash balance and a 44% surge in trade debtors. While net assets remain positive, the company is relying heavily on short-term debt to fund operations because customer payments are not being collected on time. Immediate intervention is required to accelerate debtor collection and restore cash flow before the business becomes unable to meet its short-term obligations.
