METIS AEROSPACE LTD
Company number 07608989 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Metis Aerospace is a conditionally creditable proposition: a 14-year-old defence/cyber business that has rebuilt itself from negative equity to £1.17m net assets, deleveraged steadily, and appears highly profitable in FY2025, but with negligible cash (£18k), a stock-and-intangible-heavy asset base, and a demonstrated history of earnings volatility. Any facility should be secured, supported by personal guarantees and quarterly management accounts, and ideally structured around the contract/invoice cycle rather than as unsecured term lending. The primary monitoring focus is cash generation and WIP conversion — the balance sheet is recovering, but liquidity remains one contract delay away from stress.
