BATES WESTON AUDIT LIMITED
Company number 02642288 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Bates Weston Audit Limited is exhibiting a strong financial recovery in 2025, having rebuilt its net assets by £238k and significantly boosted its cash reserves after a period of severe equity depletion between 2020 and 2023. The reduction of long-term liabilities and strong current liquidity indicate a healthy turnaround, though the balance sheet remains influenced by significant related-party investments and debts. Continued focus on retaining profits and paying down long-term obligations will be vital to fully restoring the firm's historical financial strength.
