NEWTRADE MEDIA LIMITED
Company number 00454555 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Newtrade Media Limited is a long-established publishing business with a solvent balance sheet (£1.12M net assets) and strong short-term liquidity (current ratio 3.73x), but the company is experiencing sustained trading losses evidenced by retained earnings declining from approximately £2.02M in 2021 to £963k in 2025. While the recent improvement in cash position is encouraging, the persistent erosion of shareholder funds raises concerns about long-term viability without a return to profitability. Credit facilities should be considered on a conditional basis, with appropriate covenants tied to profitability targets and net asset thresholds, and with clarification sought on the extent of support from the parent entity Nfrn Holdings Limited.
