LIVE BORDERS LIMITED
Company number SC243577 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Live Borders is a long-established, well-governed charitable leisure and culture trust with a clean compliance record and a stable anchor relationship with Scottish Borders Council, but its creditworthiness rests almost entirely on that council contract and on reserves and pension positions not visible in the data provided. Conditional approval is recommended for modest facilities, subject to review of the FY25 group accounts, contract confirmation, and acceptable security or council support. The principal risks are local authority funding pressure, energy costs, and a potential pension deficit — none unusual for the sector, but all requiring verification before commitment.
