Credit commentary:
The director Mahesh Kumar is providing a personal guarantee, which means should the business fail and have insufficient assets within the business to repay the loan, we can look to the guarantor(s) to repay any shortfall on repayment. There have been no CCJs for the business or director.The Equifax score and grade, which we use to assess risk, are based on the 2023 accounts. The provided management accounts, while not independently verified, indicate a notable improvement in financial performance. The total EBITDA increased from £85k in 2023 to £117k in 2024, reflecting a substantial enhancement in operational efficiency. This improvement is supported by a 39% increase in turnover over the same period. Consistent and positive cash flow, as evidenced by recent bank statements, further reinforces the company’s liquidity despite the presence of several debts. The average bank balances for May suggest a stable financial buffer. With a DSC ratio of 93.8 and a net gearing of 40%, the company exhibits a moderate level of financial risk. The stable creditor days at 56 days indicate the company’s reliability in meeting its short-term obligations.

Inflation risk:
The company has stated that inflation will not affect its business. Since the majority of lending to the business is at a fixed rate, they will not be immediately affected by interest rate increases.
