FRAMPTONS LIMITED
Company number 00927723 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Framptons Limited has achieved an operational turnaround under Profura ownership, returning to profitability in FY26, but remains balance-sheet insolvent with negligible cash reserves and deeply negative shareholders' funds. The business is entirely dependent on parent company support to continue as a going concern, and its liquidity position provides virtually no buffer against disruption. Any credit facility should be conditional on parent company guarantees, strict covenant protections, and enhanced monitoring of cash flow and customer concentration.
