Company number 00581234 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Rose Building Supplies Limited is a well-established, conservatively-financed builders merchant with net assets of £3.61M and strong liquidity ratios (current ratio 2.64x). The balance sheet demonstrates long-term value creation, with equity approximately doubling over the past decade, while leverage has reduced significantly year-on-year. The principal credit considerations are: (1) the need for management accounts to assess underlying trading profitability, which is not visible from filed accounts; and (2) understanding the group structure and inter-company dynamics with the 75%+ shareholder, Andrews Building Supplies Holdings Limited. Subject to satisfactory responses on these points, the company represents a sound credit proposition with standard sector-appropriate covenants.
