CAPRICORN DETERGENTS LIMITED
Company number 04262158 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Capricorn Detergents Limited presents a strong credit proposition supported by a decade of consistent equity growth (from £3,029 to £339,802), substantial cash reserves (£307,182), and conservative leverage (long-term debt-to-equity of 0.25x). The company's 23-year trading history in a defensive sector, combined with active de-leveraging and ongoing capital investment, demonstrates sound financial stewardship and business resilience. The primary considerations for monitoring are debtor concentration (37% of total assets), recent employee reductions, and key person dependency given concentrated family ownership.
