COVID-Resilience:
The business has not been affected by COVID. The construction industry has recovered 2.5% last year after the lockdowns, and GlobalData reports that the industry is expected to recover a further 5.2% by the end of this year.

Credit Comment:
The financial profile of the business is strong with EBITDA in March 2021 of c. £842k, compared to c. £620k in 2020 and c. £219k in 2019. Gross margin is declining, but this can be attributed to the increased use of contractors as the business grows. The company has no net debt and its total net worth stands at £1.1m after retained profit of £632k. The directors withdrew dividends and remuneration totalling £450k during the year. Although it’s a relatively young company, cash generation and retained profits are strong. The directors are providing a personal guarantee, this means that if the business fails the directors become personally liable for the loan. The directors are homeowners, 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.
