FIRETRACE LTD.
Company number 03239431 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Firetrace Ltd. merits an APPROVE recommendation based on its exceptionally strong financial position. The company carries negligible debt, holds £3.37M in cash, and has grown net assets to £5.45M through consistent profit retention over its 29-year trading history. The primary monitoring points are the significant stock holding (£1.91M) and the substantial increases in trade and other creditors, which require clarification but do not detract from the overall strong creditworthiness of this established, family-owned manufacturer.
