DACRE, SON & HARTLEY LIMITED
Company number 03090769 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Dacre, Son & Hartley remains solvent with £1.58M net assets and a 2.5x current ratio, but presents a deteriorating credit profile characterised by consecutive trading losses (£493K over two years) and a 58.6% erosion of net assets since 2021. The most significant concern is management's decision to distribute £693K in dividends during this loss-making period, extracting value that should support creditor repayment capacity. Credit facilities should be offered conditionally with covenants restricting dividends and requiring minimum net asset thresholds, with close monitoring of trading performance and cash trajectory.
