Credit Comments
The financials accounts show a healthy position with an EBITDA of £78k Mar 21. The shareholder funds doubled to £61k from last year. The director is providing a personal guarantee, this means that if the business fails the director becomes personally liable for the loan. The director is a homeowner, however this does not ensure there are sufficient assets should the loan need to be recovered. There have been no CCJs for the business or directors.
