VIGILANT APPLICATIONS LIMITED
Company number 08087397 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Vigilant Applications is a small, VCT-backed, asset-light IT consultancy/software applications business with improving liquidity and a return to positive net assets, but limited evidence of scale or a durable moat. Its £579k cash balance and £604k deferred income provide runway and potential revenue visibility, yet the £2.03m retained deficit and £100k director loan constrain distributable capacity and governance flexibility. The priority is to convert niche customer relationships into recurring revenue, reduce key-person and related-party risk, and deploy capital behind disciplined product and bolt-on growth.
