HCI DISTRIBUTION LIMITED
Company number 04488504 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
HCI Distribution Limited is in significant financial distress, having suffered a loss of approximately £240,000 in the year to August 2025 that has nearly halved shareholder equity. The most alarming symptom is the 87% collapse in cash reserves to just £26,358, combined with trade debtors nearly doubling to £319,391 — suggesting serious cash collection issues at a time when the business can least afford them. While the company remains solvent with positive working capital of £225,346, the quality of current assets is poor (93% tied up in stock and debtors), and without immediate intervention to accelerate cash collection and stem losses, the business risks a liquidity crisis within months.
