DOVE SECURITY LIMITED
Company number 04500629 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Dove Security Limited is a 22-year-old private security company that has demonstrated remarkable resilience, recovering from a near-critical financial position in 2016–2019 to build healthy cash reserves of £91,295. However, the company is currently showing symptoms of renewed financial stress, including a 65% surge in short-term creditors, a deteriorating current ratio (1.89 → 1.49), and barely break-even profitability. The financial health grade of B- reflects a business that is stable but fragile — the strong cash position provides a meaningful safety buffer, but the high debt-to-equity ratio (4.16:1), thin margins, and rising creditor levels require active management to prevent a return to the precarious conditions of previous years.
