Executive summary

Traffic Direct Limited demonstrates a strong historical track record with net assets growing from £252k (2016) to £3.08M (2025), reflecting capable management and business growth. However, the latest financial year reveals concerning developments: a 67% cash decline to £410k, new secured debt of £629k, a £1.34M investment property acquisition (director-valued), and a declining P&L reserve suggesting either losses or significant dividend extraction. The credit decision is CONDITIONAL – facilities may be considered but should include covenants monitoring cash positions, leverage ratios, and require provision of quarterly management accounts to confirm ongoing trading profitability.
