Executive summary

Bow Farms Limited is a fundamentally healthy, profitable family farming business that has undergone a major expansion in 2025, investing approximately £3.84 million in property improvements funded primarily by £3.14 million in new long-term debt. While net assets have grown to £2.63 million and the business remains profitable, the expansion has created significant liquidity strain—cash has halved, trade creditors have surged over 400%, and the current ratio has dropped from 4.02 to 1.73. The outstanding directors' current account of £440K adds further working capital pressure. The prognosis is cautiously positive provided management focuses on accelerating director loan repayments, managing trade creditors, and ensuring the expanded operation generates sufficient revenue to service the new debt.
