DESIGN CENTRAL (BATH) LIMITED
Company number 03597376 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Design Central (Bath) Limited is a long-established company with a recently recapitalised balance sheet (~£1.07m equity injection in FY2024), positive working capital of £936k and low gearing — but it remains loss-making with negative retained earnings, and cash halved to £307k as the debtor book expanded sharply. Recommend CONDITIONAL approval of modest facilities, conditional on management accounts, debtor ageing visibility, confirmation of the injection's nature, and director guarantees. The equity injection demonstrates shareholder commitment, but the business has yet to demonstrate it can generate profits to service debt internally.
