PAUL RACKHAM LIMITED
Company number 02434505 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Paul Rackham Limited is a financially robust, property-rich company with net assets of £38.75M that have grown consistently over the past decade, demonstrating strong underlying business health. The apparent net current liabilities position of (£15.78M) is a technical distortion caused by the reclassification of an inter-company loan with no fixed repayment terms — not a genuine liquidity crisis. With improving cash reserves, substantial retained earnings, and a well-capitalised balance sheet, the company's financial vital signs are fundamentally healthy, though the inter-company loan should be restructured to present a clearer picture and reduce technical risk.
