BROXBURN BOTTLERS LIMITED
Company number SC088127 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Broxburn Bottlers Limited presents a high-risk profile driven by severe cash depletion to £33,530, a £2.3 million operating loss, and negative EBITDA in FY2024, against a backdrop of declining spirits industry demand. The company's viability is currently underpinned by the stated commitment of its two corporate shareholders — who are also its primary customers — and a clean audit opinion, but standalone financial metrics are deeply concerning. Any withdrawal of shareholder support or further revenue deterioration would likely render the business insolvent without external intervention.
