GLOBAL INSTRUMENTATION LIMITED
Company number 03589504 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Global Instrumentation Limited is a solvent, debt-free business with a 27-year trading history, but its latest accounts show acute symptoms: cash fell 96% to £22,047 and net assets dropped 45% to £496,556, the lowest point in a decade. The underlying balance sheet structure remains sound — a current ratio of 1.72, no long-term debt, and £857k of receivables collected historically well — but the £405k reserve decline must be diagnosed as either trading losses or shareholder distributions before the outlook can be confirmed. Overall grade B-: stable, but requiring close monitoring, disciplined credit control, and a deliberate rebuild of the cash buffer.
