HOBMAN HOWLETT LIMITED
Company number 05584640 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Hobman Howlett Limited is a small, niche professional services practice in Hove that has experienced a sustained decline in net assets (down 62% since 2019) despite maintaining cash-positive status and expanding its workforce to 5 employees. The firm is undergoing a significant ownership and brand transition, changing from name shown to subscribers Associates to Hobman Howlett, which introduces client retention risks typical of professional services succession scenarios. While the business remains solvent and operationally active, the accumulation of tax creditors (£79,584) and declining working capital warrant close monitoring, as the firm's financial trajectory diverges negatively from the stable-to-growing profile characteristic of healthy UK small professional services practices.
