CLIFFORDS LIMITED
Company number 01049582 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Cliffords Limited is an asset-rich but cash-poor holding company suffering from acute liquidity dehydration despite a strong underlying net worth of over £4 million. The business has successfully cleared historical debts but has drained its cash reserves to dangerously low levels, leaving it entirely dependent on the collection of £3.3 million in intercompany debtors for its daily financial circulation. Immediate intervention is required to accelerate debtor collections and rebuild a minimum cash buffer to safeguard against short-term insolvency risk.
