SPORTSAFE UK LTD
Company number 03370067 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Sportsafe UK has demonstrated impressive revenue growth and returned to profitability, moving from negative net assets of -£583,939 in FY2020 to positive equity of £135,392 in FY2025. However, the business remains financially fragile with net current liabilities of £172,888, a dangerously thin cash position of £2,265, and interest costs that consume a disproportionate share of operating profit. Its market position as a national-scale, full-service provider to schools and emergency services is distinctive and valuable, but the balance sheet constraints limit competitive flexibility and create vulnerability to adverse trading conditions.
