GLOBAL CARGO SERVICES LONDON LIMITED
Company number 05028653 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Global Cargo Services London Limited presents a mixed credit profile: a long-established freight operator with positive net assets but a clearly deteriorating financial trajectory. The 56% decline in cash, combined with ballooning trade debtors and near-doubled trade creditors, strongly suggests the business is experiencing working capital strain and potential collection difficulties. Any credit facility should be offered on a conditional basis with enhanced covenants, quarterly monitoring of cash and debtor positions, and appropriate security where available.
