SUNBELT RENTALS LIMITED
Company number 00444569 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Sunbelt Rentals Limited is the core UK operating subsidiary of the FTSE 100-listed Ashtead Group, operating a highly cash-generative plant hire business. However, the standalone entity is thinly capitalized with only £854 in share capital, meaning it relies almost entirely on group financing. Consequently, any credit exposure is strictly conditional upon securing a Parent Company Guarantee from the ultimate parent company to mitigate the structural subordination risk inherent in this corporate structure.
