SHEERS LIMITED
Company number 01347974 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Sheers Limited demonstrates a fundamentally creditworthy profile with strong liquidity (cash covers all current liabilities), low leverage, and a 46-year trading history in essential water infrastructure services. The conditional approval reflects the need to clarify the significant decline in retained earnings during the latest period, understand the unusual trade debtors credit balance, and assess parent company Ross-Shire Engineering's financial position given its >75% ownership. Subject to satisfactory responses on these points, the company represents an acceptable credit risk with appropriate monitoring covenants.
