W.B. VICTORIA STONE LIMITED
Company number 01155464 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
W.B. Victoria Stone Limited presents a mixed credit profile: exceptional long-term equity growth from near-insolvency to over £600k in net assets, contrasted with acute short-term liquidity pressure evidenced by a 94% decline in cash to just £14k. The tripling of trade debtors to £350k and near-doubling of tax liabilities to £320k require urgent clarification before any credit extension. The business has a 50-year track record and strong asset backing, but current cash flow dynamics present material risk. Any credit facility should be conditional on satisfactory explanation of debtor quality and confirmation of HMRC payment compliance.
