ALPHA SCHOOLS (HOLDINGS) LIMITED
Company number 07391840 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Alpha Schools (Holdings) Limited presents a **CONDITIONAL** credit proposition. While the group has a substantial net asset base of £19M, net assets have eroded by 16% over five years and turnover has fallen by 33% in the latest year. The critical impediment to credit approval is the auditor's disclaimer of opinion on the 2024 financial statements, which means the reported figures cannot be relied upon. Combined with the imminent introduction of VAT on school fees from January 2025 and ongoing cost pressures, the group faces material headwinds to future cash generation. Any credit facility should be conditional upon resolution of the audit qualification, provision of reliable management information, and appropriate security/covenant protection.
