Executive summary
Hillcrest Nurseries Limited is a long-established (27 years) family-owned plant nursery and farm shop that has recovered from a balance-sheet-insolvent position in FY2024 to marginally positive equity of £25,715 in FY2025, but the underlying balance sheet remains highly leveraged with £59,799 of negative working capital and total liabilities 1.6x total assets. The business shows signs of active management and diversified revenue, but the minimal equity cushion means any credit facility should be modest, fully secured against assets and personal guarantees from the principal shareholder, and subject to quarterly management information review.
