BLACKMAGIC DESIGN LIMITED
Company number 06477380 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Blackmagic Design Limited is a solvent, actively trading wholesaler with stable revenue and an unqualified audit opinion, but it has recorded two consecutive years of losses and its net assets have fallen to £2.78m against £96.4m turnover. The company benefits from parent-company support and a £2.9m cash position, yet its thin capital base and reliance on future product releases and intercompany funding justify a MEDIUM risk rating and further due diligence. Overall, the company is not currently in financial distress, but there is limited standalone headroom if trading conditions deteriorate.
