R & D MACHINERY LIMITED
Company number 05885514 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
R & D Machinery Limited presents a HIGH risk profile driven by a critically depleted cash position (£423 against £3.1M current liabilities), an explicit going concern dependency on director and banker support, and declining net assets suggesting ongoing trading losses. While the company benefits from an established 19-year trading history, strong brand dealer relationships, and a positive net current asset position, these factors are insufficient to offset the severe liquidity constraints and the heavily creditor-funded operating model. Any institutional investor engagement would require full P&L disclosure, verification of stock realisability, and formal confirmation of continued director financial support before proceeding.
