Executive summary
Derby Auto Electrical Services Limited was a well-established niche operator in the UK automotive aftermarket that has ceased trading and is now in managed wind-down while awaiting compensation for loss of trade. The company's accumulated net assets of £1.08 million—far exceeding the £50,000-£300,000 typical of independent garages—reflect 25 years of profitable specialist auto electrical operations under conservative financial management. The current balance sheet is dominated by liquid assets (£448,000 in deposits, £293,000 cash) and receivables including a compensation claim, with virtually no liabilities, positioning the business purely as a vehicle for claim resolution and eventual capital distribution to the Ross family shareholders.
