A.C.L. PLASTERING AND DRYLINING LIMITED
Company number 02629434 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
A.C.L. Plastering and Drylining Limited presents minimal credit risk with an exceptionally strong balance sheet featuring £2.1M in cash against just £180k in current liabilities and zero long-term debt. The 33-year-old business has accumulated substantial retained profits, and its liquidity position (current ratio of 12:1) would comfortably service any reasonable credit facility. However, the business is clearly contracting — employees down 29%, trade debtors down 64%, and net assets declining 16% over two years — likely reflecting dividend extraction by the controlling shareholder ahead of potential retirement or wind-down. Credit approval is recommended, but facility tenors should reflect the uncertain strategic direction, and clarification should be sought on the doubling of "other creditors" and the company's forward trading intentions.
