DUPORT ASSOCIATES LIMITED
Company number 03479577 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Duport Associates Limited is a long-established but financially diminished niche player in the UK business support services sector, with net assets declining 89% from £119,010 in 2021 to just £12,371 in 2025. While the company returned to modest profitability in 2025, its balance sheet remains precariously thin with a current ratio of just 1.27:1 and rising creditor balances—well below sector norms for comparable service businesses. The company faces structural headwinds from digital disruption and platform commoditisation in the company formation market, and without strategic repositioning toward higher-value advisory services, its long-term competitive sustainability remains questionable.
