SAFECOTE LIMITED

Company number 03409789 ·

Active

This company is in liquidation.

Executive summary

Safecote Limited is in formal liquidation following a strategic decision to wind down a historically profitable business. The dramatic 88% decline in net assets from £2.66M to £320K is entirely explained by a £2.44M share buyback returning capital to shareholders, not by trading losses. The company remains solvent with a healthy current ratio of 2.28:1 and generated a final profit of £103K. The prognosis is terminal by design—an orderly, solvent liquidation that will see all creditors paid in full and remaining value returned to shareholders.
