SURVEY SUPPLIES LIMITED
Company number 00965862 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Survey Supplies Limited presents a fundamentally healthy business with strong equity and over 55 years of trading history, but is currently experiencing acute symptoms of financial strain. The 47% decline in operating profit combined with a 66% drop in cash reserves represents a significant deterioration in financial wellness, exacerbated by a dividend policy that continues to extract over £500,000 annually despite reduced profitability. The £1.8 million hire fleet investment should generate future returns, but the company must urgently address its cash position and overhead structure to avoid further deterioration. With appropriate treatment—specifically dividend restraint, overhead realignment, and rigorous cash flow management—the prognosis for recovery is positive, but continued extraction of dividends at current levels risks transforming a treatable condition into a chronic financial illness.
