ELSOMS SEEDS LIMITED
Company number 00656393 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Elsoms Seeds Limited is a well-established, profitable agricultural seed business with a strong credit profile. The company has demonstrated consistent growth, with revenue increasing 9.5% to £32.1M and profit after tax rising 36.5% to £2.9M in FY2025, supported by a robust net asset position of £20.38M and conservative gearing of 0.40x. The primary considerations for ongoing monitoring are the declining cash position (from £4.73M in FY2020 to £1.48M in FY2025), rising liabilities, and the subsidiary relationship with parent company Elsoms (Spalding) Limited. Credit approval is recommended with standard monitoring conditions.
