GAUNT PROPERTIES LIMITED

Company number 04770393 ·

Active

Executive summary

Gaunt Properties Limited demonstrates improving equity strength with net assets growing from £172,229 to £296,204 over two years, supported by investment property valued at £630,000. However, the business carries structural negative working capital of £37,919, the property valuation lacks independent verification, and the filleted accounts obscure visibility over income sustainability. Any credit approval should be conditional upon an independent RICS property valuation and satisfactory evidence of rental income streams to service both existing and proposed debt obligations.
