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.","website":"https://www.dovesecurity.co.uk/","links":{"page":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/dove-security","people":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dove-security/people","filing_history":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dove-security/filing-history","companies_house":"https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04500629","financials":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dove-security/financial","control":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dove-security/control","charges":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dove-security/charges","ai_analysis":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dove-security/analysis"},"source":"CompaniesInTheUK, from Companies House, The Gazette and other public registers (see /support/about).
