BARLOW TRAILERS LIMITED
Company number 05070819 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Barlow Trailers Limited exhibits a highly leveraged and illiquid financial position, characterized by negative working capital of £318k and critically low cash reserves of just £7k. The reported net assets of £539k are heavily reliant on a historical property revaluation, leaving a tangible net worth of only £86k against total liabilities of £2.4M. Credit exposure is highly risky without robust security over property or stock, as the company's solvency is entirely dependent on maintaining rapid trailer inventory turnover to service its short-term debts.
