D. BENSON (CONTROLS) LIMITED
Company number 00876120 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
D. Benson (Controls) Limited presents a concerning credit profile despite its long trading history. The company has experienced a catastrophic decline in cash reserves from £347K to under £5K, coupled with a 36.5% surge in debtors, indicating serious working capital management issues and potential collection difficulties. Net assets have eroded consistently over seven years, and the current equity position provides limited protection for creditors. While the business remains solvent, any new credit exposure should be conditional upon satisfactory explanation of the cash flow dynamics, with robust covenants and preferably a parent company guarantee from HMG Holdings Limited.
