WHATSONSTAGE LIMITED
Company number 08281131 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
WhatsOnStage Limited is balance-sheet insolvent with net liabilities of £1.28M and has carried negative equity since incorporation. The company is entirely dependent on its Canadian parent, Albatross Ticketing Inc, for going concern viability — a fact explicitly confirmed in the accounts. While the deficit has narrowed over the past two years, suggesting parental support, the company possesses no standalone repayment capacity, no tangible asset collateral, and declining cash reserves. Any credit facility must be declined on a standalone basis or made strictly conditional upon a legally enforceable parent company guarantee with appropriate cross-border security arrangements.
