FDM GROUP LIMITED, SE1 2QG : Companies House Number 02542980

Executive summary

FDM Group Limited is a long-standing IT consultancy and staffing subsidiary whose creditworthiness is inextricably linked to its parent, Astra 5.0 Limited, which holds over 75% ownership. Due to the lack of standalone financial disclosure under the subsidiary audit exemption, credit exposure can only be safely undertaken with a formal parent company guarantee. The underlying business model is typically cash-generative but remains sensitive to macroeconomic shifts in corporate IT spending.
