DATUM FINANCE LIMITED
Company number 05336139 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Datum Finance Limited is technically insolvent but functionally stable: liabilities exceed assets by £16.4m, yet virtually all of its debt is interest-free family funding — including £20.4m from its parent with formal pledges to defer repayment — meaning the "insolvency" reflects group financing structure rather than trading distress. The company is modestly profitable, cash-rich, fully compliant, and carries a clean audit opinion, but its survival depends entirely on continued shareholder support. Overall health grade: D+ standalone — a stable patient on permanent life support rather than a business in conventional distress.
