Company number SC080635 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
S & D Harper Limited presents a robust net asset base but suffers from acute financial anemia, evidenced by a dangerously low cash position of just £1,767. The company's vital liquidity is currently trapped in interest-free loans to directors and related parties, leaving the business heavily reliant on short-term overdrafts and creditor terms to fund its operations. Immediate action is required to improve cash circulation by calling in related-party debts and refinancing short-term borrowings to ensure long-term survival.
