B 5 LIMITED
Company number 02561658 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
B 5 Limited presents significant financial risk, having moved into negative equity (-£288,738) as of December 2025 with current liabilities exceeding current assets by the same amount. The nine-year decline from £1.29M in shareholders' funds to insolvency, combined with chronically low cash reserves and the settlement of director loans during a period of financial deterioration, raises substantial concerns about solvency, liquidity, and the treatment of creditor interests. While the company's long history and likely property assets provide some basis for potential recovery, the current trajectory is unsustainable without material external support or asset realisation.
