BUTLER & WILSON LIMITED
Company number 01658061 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Butler & Wilson Limited is a long-established specialist retailer with a conservatively structured balance sheet, minimal debt, and over £1 million in cash. However, the company has sustained consecutive trading losses and net assets have nearly halved over eight years, with a significant portion of remaining equity dependent on property revaluation rather than retained profits. A credit facility would be conditionally supportable on a secured basis against the freehold property, subject to evidence of a credible path back to profitability and ongoing monitoring of cash burn.
