CAMBRIDGE WINE MERCHANTS LTD
Company number 02793727 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Cambridge Wine Merchants is a long-established business with substantial net assets of £1.2 million, but its financial vital signs are flashing warning signals. Cash reserves have collapsed by 94% to just £8,715, the business posted a loss of approximately £27,600 in the latest year, and the quick ratio of 0.55 means it cannot cover short-term debts without selling stock. While the overall condition is not immediately critical, the business needs urgent action to rebuild cash buffers, accelerate stock turnover, and diagnose the cause of its recent loss before these symptoms worsen.
