COMBICUT LIMITED
Company number 01474904 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Combicut Limited is an exceptionally well-capitalised business with £8.32M in net assets, minimal leverage, and strong liquidity (current ratio 13.9x). The 45-year trading history and continued capital investment demonstrate business resilience and management commitment. The primary credit considerations are the concentration in intercompany debtors (£1.43M), the unexplained "other debtors" balance, and the lack of P&L visibility in filleted accounts. The company comfortably meets all credit criteria and would support a facility on standard commercial terms.
