OVERSEAS TRADING LIMITED
Company number 04442532 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Overseas Trading Limited is an active, 23-year-old private retailer with consistent revenue growth, positive and increasing net assets, and up-to-date statutory filings. However, it operates with high leverage—total liabilities of approximately £13.1 million against net assets of £1.48 million—and relies on overdrafts, invoice discounting and other short-term facilities while cash balances have been volatile. The overall risk profile is moderate, warranting verification of working capital facilities and the consistency of company records before investment.
