CAFEDIRECT PLC
Company number SC141496 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Cafédirect PLC presents a robust structural profile backed by a substantial £2.85M share capital and significant institutional ownership from Oikocredit, which strongly supports its long-term financial resilience. However, as a wholesale operator in the global coffee and tea sector, the business faces inherent commodity and foreign exchange risks that place heavy demands on working capital. A conditional credit approach is recommended pending verification of the latest group financials to confirm that operational cash generation comfortably covers debt servicing and working capital requirements.
