SPACEHIVE LTD
Company number 07553730 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Spacehive Ltd occupies a defensible niche within UK civic crowdfunding but continues to exhibit the financial profile of a pre-profitability platform business. Whilst FY2025 shows encouraging operational momentum — evidenced by a significant increase in trade debtors suggesting revenue growth and a narrowing of accumulated losses — the company remains balance-sheet insolvent with £2.1M negative shareholders' funds and declining cash reserves. The backing of Big Society Capital and the Colruyt family provides crucial patient capital, but the path to financial self-sufficiency remains unclear after 14 years of trading. The company's competitive position depends on maintaining its public sector partnerships whilst navigating a sector where scale economics have challenged many smaller platforms.
