CLX LTD
Company number 04200216 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
CLX LTD is a long-established Durham restaurant facing an existential financial crisis characterised by seven consecutive years of net asset erosion (69% decline to £444K), negative working capital, and a £350K VAT liability that demands immediate resolution. While the business retains strategic assets in its leasehold property, group structure, and recent workforce expansion, these are insufficient without urgent intervention to address liquidity, engage with HMRC, and establish a credible path to profitability. The current trajectory, if unchecked, risks formal insolvency within 12-18 months.
