THE CAMBRIDGE FOOD COMPANY LIMITED
Company number 05361610 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
The Cambridge Food Company presents a medium-risk profile characterized by a stable, long-operating wholesale and retail food business that has demonstrated consistent net asset growth and active debt reduction. However, the company's financial position is materially dependent on a directors' property valuation that inflates net assets by approximately £908,000, and the substantial secured bank debt with floating charges creates vulnerability in adverse scenarios. The deteriorating working capital position and rapid trade creditor growth warrant monitoring, though the overall trajectory remains positive with profitable operations and increasing employee headcount.
