DD & P LTD
Company number 03690387 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
DD & P Ltd is a long-trading (27 years), privately-owned kitchen restoration manufacturer with a strong equity base (£878k) and exceptional liquidity (current ratio 3.74x, cash covering 2.4x current liabilities). The most recent accounts show a material contraction in cash and total assets, though shareholders' funds remain stable, suggesting capital returns rather than trading distress. Recommend conditional approval subject to clarification of the cash reduction and receipt of management accounts to confirm ongoing profitability. The business has clear capacity to service modest facilities from its cash reserves, though key-person risk (single PSC) and lack of P&L transparency are the principal limitations.
