HUNTLEY & PALMERS LIMITED

Company number 04338618 ·

Active

Executive summary

Huntley & Palmers Limited presents elevated risk primarily due to a dramatic balance sheet expansion in FY2024 that inflated assets and liabilities by approximately 40-70 times the prior year, with debtors representing 96% of total assets and a leverage ratio of 27:1. While the company has improved from historical negative equity and maintains regulatory compliance, the concentrated family governance structure, opaque related-party relationships, and absence of income statement disclosure make it impossible to assess true financial health without significant further investigation into the nature and quality of the debtor/creditor balances.
