BOLTON BROTHERS LIMITED
Company number 03745354 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Bolton Brothers Limited is an established waste management business showing recovery from a difficult 2024, with net assets growing to £4.52M and turnover recovering 3.65% to £11.78M. However, the critically thin cash position (£94K on nearly £12M turnover) and recent trading volatility present meaningful liquidity risk that requires careful facility structuring and ongoing monitoring. A conditional approval with appropriate covenants, quarterly reporting, and security package is recommended—the underlying business is sound, but cash flow management remains the key vulnerability.
