L.C.F.ARTHEY & SONS LIMITED, IP7 6DU : Companies House Number 00799412

Executive summary

L.C.F. Arthey & Sons Limited is a Suffolk-based, family-controlled arable farming business with a £16.5 million net asset position anchored by freehold land, investment property, and a residential development pipeline. The company is asset-rich but cash-poor, ending the year with zero cash and current liabilities exceeding current assets, while relying on increased interest-free director loans. Strategic value lies in converting its land bank into residential and investment property, provided it can manage liquidity, planning, and succession risks.
