COSTCO LIMITED, WD25 8JS : Companies House Number 02776034

Executive summary

Costco Limited is a property-holding subsidiary whose sole function is to own and lease back a freehold warehouse to its parent, Costco Wholesale UK Limited. The standalone financials show stability with consistent profitability (£465k) and strong equity (£199.65m), but the company is entirely dependent on its parent for revenue and working capital, with 99.998% of current assets being intercompany balances. Credit approval is conditional upon parent company guarantee and satisfactory review of the parent's financial position, particularly given ongoing strategic review of the property holding structure which may result in the entity's dissolution.
