SAKATA UK LIMITED
Company number 02822116 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Sakata UK Limited is an exceptionally well-capitalised business with negligible debt, £8.2M in cash reserves, and consistent profit growth, making it a very low-risk credit proposition. The company benefits from its position within the global Sakata group while maintaining a strong independent balance sheet with net assets of £12.5M against liabilities of just £1.06M. The primary monitoring consideration is the potential for increased dividend extraction by the overseas parent, though current profitability comfortably supports existing payout levels.
