GREATDALE LIMITED
Company number 04007451 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Greatdale Limited presents a high-risk profile characterised by chronic balance-sheet insolvency (net liabilities of £1.04 million), critically depleted cash reserves (£1,412), and near-total illiquidity with 91.6% of current assets tied up in stock. The recent near-simultaneous resignations of two directors in March 2026, immediately following approval of the 2025 accounts, adds significant governance concern to an already precarious financial position. The company's continued existence appears entirely dependent on the forbearance of long-term creditors, likely including the controlling shareholder, and without such support the business would be unable to meet its obligations as they fall due.
