VIGILANT PROTECT UK LIMITED
Company number SC212151 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Vigilant Protect UK Limited displays encouraging top-line revenue growth and a 50% increase in pre-tax profit, but is suffering from a critical drop in cash reserves, which plummeted from £1.2M to just £160k. The business is heavily reliant on debtor-backed financing to maintain its working capital, operating on dangerously thin margins that leave little room for error. Immediate treatment must focus on improving cash collection and protecting gross margins to ensure long-term financial survival.
