JAMES MACQUEEN BUILDING CONTRACTORS LIMITED
Company number SC280309 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
James MacQueen Building Contractors Limited is a long-established construction business operating in a niche geographic market that remains profitable but is exhibiting clear signs of financial erosion. Cash reserves have declined 70% over three years to £357K, revenue contracted 26% year-on-year, and the company distributed £405K in dividends — approximately 100% of pre-tax profits — while net assets continued to fall. While the company is currently solvent with an unqualified audit opinion and no going concern qualifications, the combination of declining liquidity, revenue contraction, and aggressive dividend extraction warrants careful monitoring and further due diligence on the forward order book, working capital composition, and related party transactions.
