DERALAM LAMINATES LIMITED
Company number 01748234 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
DERALAM LAMINATES LIMITED is a profitable, well-established laminates supplier with a clean audit record and stable albeit thin margins. However, aggressive dividend payouts, a low cash balance, and high leverage materially weaken its credit profile. A conditional approval is recommended, subject to personal guarantees, dividend restrictions, and ongoing covenant monitoring to protect the bank’s exposure.
