AETHER LIMITED
Company number 06630896 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Aether Limited is a well-established, debt-free company with an exceptionally strong balance sheet (net assets £2.08M, cash £1.6M) and an outstanding liquidity position (current ratio 8.1x). The business has demonstrated sustained profitability over 17 years, building its equity entirely through retained earnings. Key monitoring points include the significant growth in trade debtors (49% YoY), the declining cash trend over the past two years, and understanding the group structure given its subsidiary status. Overall credit risk is low, and the company would comfortably service modest debt facilities if required.
