CANDLELIGHT PRODUCTS LIMITED
Company number 01190834 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Candlelight Products is a well-established, profitable wholesale business demonstrating strong revenue growth of 26% to £19.3m and consistent pre-tax profits of £1.30m. However, the credit profile is tempered by a materially thin cash position (2.4% of revenue), aggressive dividend extraction that exceeds annual profits, and a 64% increase in liabilities that suggests working capital is under strain. A conditional approval with covenants restricting dividend payouts to 75% of profits and requiring a minimum cash-to-revenue ratio of 5% would appropriately balance the company's trading strengths against its liquidity vulnerabilities.
