DIET CHEF LIMITED
Company number SC328517 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Diet Chef Limited is technically insolvent with net liabilities of £487,797 and survives solely through parent company forbearance on intercompany debts of £506,557. The company has destroyed approximately £1.9M in equity over five years, carries a qualified audit opinion on inventory and revenue verification, and lacks standalone capacity to service any external debt. Credit is declined without parent company guarantees, and even with such support, terms would need to be heavily structured with rigorous monitoring provisions.
