JAMES CHOCOLATES LIMITED
Company number 04481087 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
James Chocolates Limited presents a mixed credit profile: a remarkable turnaround from deeply negative net assets to £130,785 positive equity demonstrates management capability, but zero cash at year-end, high leverage (4.9x debt-to-equity), and an entirely encumbered asset base create material vulnerability. The £412,683 debtor book requires close scrutiny as it represents the primary source of near-term liquidity. Conditional approval is recommended, subject to personal guarantees, monthly monitoring, and confirmation that existing Lloyds Bank facilities remain in place.
