YORK BARBELL (U.K.) LIMITED
Company number 01491442 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
York Barbell (UK) Limited presents a mixed risk profile. The company benefits from a valuable unencumbered freehold property and improving retained losses, but remains dependent on shareholder support for going concern validation and carries a complex preference share structure of over £5M with undisclosed terms. Liquidity quality is questionable with a quick ratio below 1.0 and significant cash deterioration over recent years. Further investigation into preference share obligations, related party transactions, and cash flow drivers is recommended before any commitment of institutional capital.
