GREEN & BROWN LTD
Company number 07318566 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Green & Brown Ltd is a well-established, profitable wholesale business with a strong balance sheet (net assets £7.94m) and consistent growth trajectory over 14 years. However, the recent acquisition by Vista Bidco24 Limited has introduced significant group-related uncertainties, evidenced by a 54% increase in liabilities and a 61% decline in cash reserves. The company's acknowledged reliance on an intra-group customer further concentrates risk. Credit approval is recommended on a conditional basis, pending clarification of group structure, intercompany exposures, and the terms of acquisition financing, with ongoing monitoring of leverage and liquidity metrics.
