ALLEN ASSOCIATES (H.P.E.) LIMITED
Company number SC201596 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Allen Associates (H.P.E.) Limited presents a LOW overall risk profile, underpinned by a 25-year trading history, strong and growing net assets of £1.75M, exceptional liquidity with £1.6M in cash, and no evidence of regulatory non-compliance. The principal areas of concern are the inherent volatility in financial performance typical of project-based engineering businesses, concentrated ownership under Mr Scott Allen, and limited transparency arising from subsidiary status and filleted accounts. Further due diligence should focus on group structure, revenue and margin analysis, and the quality and concentration of debtor balances.
