What the FCA says

ATTENTION - Firm in an insolvency process

This firm is in an insolvency process. It is under the control of the appointed insolvency office holder(s) and may have stopped taking on new business.

If you are/were a customer check how this affects you with the firm or the appointed insolvency office holder(s).

Website, phone number and address

Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.

Assets and liabilities

About these figures
Turnover
Money taken from sales in the year, before any costs.
Profit before tax
What was left after the year’s costs, before corporation tax. A minus figure is a loss.
Net assets, or total equity
Everything the company owns minus everything it owes. A minus figure means it owes more than it owns.
Total assets and total liabilities
Everything the company owns, and everything it owes, on the last day of the year. The gap between them is its net assets.
Cash at bank
Money in the company’s accounts on the last day of the year.
Owed within a year, owed after a year
Debts and bills due in the next twelve months, and those due later.

There is no turnover or profit: small companies do not have to publish them.

Accounts filed at Companies House for company 07140831. Every figure is as filed, apart from total assets and total liabilities, which are added up from filed figures. Nothing is estimated.
