Executive summary
Real SFX Limited is a Cardiff-based, award-recognized specialist in film, television, and live-events post-production with a strong balance sheet of £3.0 million in net assets and £1.25 million in cash. While its boutique scale and Emmy/BAFTA-linked reputation support premium positioning, cash and net assets have moderated over three years, and working-capital quality and related-party balances require board attention. Prioritizing virtual-production capabilities, client diversification, and pricing discipline offers the clearest path to sustainable growth.
