DIRECT BUYING SOLUTIONS LTD
Company number 08197827 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Direct Buying Solutions Ltd is a solvent, debt-free micro-company with positive working capital and an unblemished filing record, but it is a fraction of its former scale — net assets having fallen from £255,348 in 2018 to £12,705 in 2025, with a near-critical low of £913 in 2023. The unaudited filings and absent P&L obscure whether this contraction was driven by losses, distributions, or group restructuring, which is the central question for any prospective investor. Rated MEDIUM risk: no immediate distress indicators, but thin capitalisation, single-director dependency, and minimal transparency warrant caution and further due diligence before any commitment.
