BARROW RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED(THE)
Company number 00246668 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Barrow Rugby Football Club Limited presents a conditional credit proposition. While the long-established club owns valuable freehold property at Craven Park, the balance sheet is critically dependent on a 2022 directors' revaluation, and without it, the company would be insolvent. Severe liquidity constraints are evident with only £11,269 cash against £721,636 current liabilities, and persistent operating losses have widened the accumulated deficit to £672,187. Any credit facility would require robust security, director guarantees, and careful monitoring of cash flow and the ongoing sustainability of director loans that currently prop up operations.
