DAVAN CARAVANS LIMITED
Company number 00593600 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Davan Caravans is a long-established family business with reasonable net assets of £3.09M, but presents significant credit concerns around an extremely thin cash position (£25K on £17M turnover), declining revenue (-6.1%), and eroding net worth (-6.8%). The discretionary nature of caravan retail amplifies these vulnerabilities. A conditional approval is recommended, with credit facilities secured against property assets where possible, subject to quarterly monitoring of cash flow, revenue trends, and sector conditions.
