CONTRA CONSULTING LTD
Company number 05664861 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Contra Consulting Ltd is a long-established micro-boutique management consultancy that has delivered consistent, if modest, profitability over the past four years, accumulating £110,832 in retained earnings atop a substantial £500,000 share capital base. However, the business carries significant balance sheet risk: 99.5% of total assets are debtors, and cash reserves of just £4,121 against £207,472 in current liabilities present a precarious working capital position that is highly dependent on timely client collections. While the firm's asset-light model and accumulated capital provide resilience, its competitive reach is inherently constrained by its 3-employee scale, and the elevated tax creditors may signal structural exposure to evolving IR35 legislation that could reshape its operating model.
