ROSPA ENTERPRISES LIMITED

1. Credit Opinion: CONDITIONAL

Reasoning: RoSPA Enterprises Limited is an active, long-established private company (incorporated 1995) and a wholly controlled trading subsidiary of The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. Filing compliance is currently clean: accounts are not overdue, and the confirmation statement is up to date. However, the company files under the small companies regime, so the public record contains only abbreviated financial information. We have no reliable figures for turnover, profit, net assets, cash generation, or existing borrowings. That is insufficient to approve an unsecured facility on a standalone basis.

We would therefore approve only on a conditional basis, subject to satisfactory review of:

• Latest filed annual accounts (and any previous year for comparison)
• Up-to-date management accounts
• Cash flow forecast / debt service capacity
• Group structure confirmation and, where appropriate, a parent company guarantee from The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents
• Details of any intercompany balances or funding arrangements with the parent/group

2. Financial Strength

Balance sheet health cannot be assessed from current information.

• The company is classified as Small, meaning its filed accounts may be significantly abbreviated; no P&L or cash flow statement is required at that level.
• Share capital is nominal at £2.00, which is common for a subsidiary but gives no insight into capital strength.
• The parent PSC controls more than 75% of shares and voting rights, and has the right to appoint/remove directors. That indicates the company is tightly held within the RoSPA group.
• The parent is a well-known safety charity, which is a positive reputational factor, but RoSPA Enterprises Limited is a separate legal entity. Parent strength does not automatically transfer to the subsidiary unless there is a formal guarantee.

Key point: We would want to see net assets, shareholder funds, and any retained reserves over the last 2–3 years. Without these, we cannot quantify capital headroom or loss-absorption capacity.

3. Cash Flow Assessment

Liquidity and working capital are unproven.

• The business is registered under several SIC codes including non-specialised wholesale trade, management consultancy, educational support, and health activities. These are broad, and the actual day-to-day cash cycle is not visible from the data.
• There are no reported overdue filings or signs of administrative failure, which suggests the company meets its statutory obligations in a timely manner.
• The presence of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxname shown to subscribers as both a director and company secretary, with the title Head of Finance, is a moderate positive — it suggests financial oversight at board level.
• However, we cannot determine cash conversion, debtor days, creditor pressure, stock levels, or reliance on intercompany funding from the data provided.

Key point: Any facility should be sized only after reviewing recent bank statements, debtor ageing, and evidence that trading cash flows can cover repayments.

4. Monitoring Points

If a facility is granted, the following should be reviewed regularly:

• Annual accounts filing — ensure no slippage and no late filing penalties.
• Management accounts — requested quarterly, with P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow.
• Intercompany position — track loans or balances with the parent/group; a growing intercompany creditor could suggest reliance on group cash.
• Directorship changes — two directors resigned in early 2026. The rationale should be understood, particularly if further changes occur.
• Parent support — confirm continuing support from The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents; if possible, obtain a parent guarantee debenture or negative pledge.
• Working capital trends — monitor debtor days, creditor days, and any build-up of stock, given the wholesale trade SIC code.
• Security / charges — check for any new charges against company assets, which would affect ranking of our facility.
