Executive summary

Kerr Pubs Limited is a family-controlled Scottish pub operator demonstrating operational expansion through asset investment and workforce growth, but facing a critical balance sheet deterioration with negative equity of £18,247 and a 72% decline in cash reserves over four years. The company's growth trajectory is being financed entirely through creditor accumulation rather than retained earnings or shareholder capital, creating an unsustainable structural position that requires immediate balance sheet restructuring alongside disciplined working capital management to preserve going concern viability.
