MOTORCLEAN LIMITED
Company number 01856964 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Motorclean Limited is a growing, profitable, audited business (£50.8M turnover, £2.9M EBITDA, £1.28M post-tax profit) with a strong 40-year track record and full profit retention since a major FY2022 group restructuring stripped equity to near-zero. The credit is supportable but carries thin liquidity, heavy reliance on invoice discounting, and a demonstrated history of group value extraction, so approval should be conditional on security, covenants (including dividend restrictions), and confirmation of the group ownership chain. Monthly monitoring of facility utilisation and customer concentration is essential given the minimal cash buffer.
