DEACON BROTHERS (PRINTERS) LIMITED
Company number SC029829 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Deacon Brothers (Printers) Limited presents a conditional credit case. While the 70-year trading history and positive net assets of £244,505 provide some comfort, the 90% decline in cash reserves over four years (to just £19,305) and the £19,073 operating loss evident in declining retained earnings signal fundamental cash generation concerns. The inter-company receivable of £169,531 from Deacon Brothers (Holdings) Limited—representing 70% of total debtors and unsecured—introduces significant concentration risk that could crystallize if the wider group encounters difficulties. Any credit facility should be conditional upon parent company financials, a satisfactory cash flow forecast, and appropriate security or guarantees.
