Credit commentary:
The directors Richard Rowan and Lyubomir Rangelov are providing a personal guarantee, which means should the business fail, and there are insufficient assets within the business to repay the loan, we can look to the guarantor(s) to repay any shortfall on repayment. There have been no CCJs for the business or directors. Our credit assessment relies on the Equifax score and financial indicators, both derived from the 2022 accounts. The 12-month management accounts indicate that the company's Debt Servicing Capacity exceeds 1, indicating ample cash generation to cover principal and interest on new commitments. The company's net gearing stands at 28%, underscoring its stability. In the 2023 accounts, the EBITDA amounts to £180,587. Bank statements reveal reasonable affordability, and the accounts maintain a healthy credit balance.

Inflation risk:
The business said they have not been affected by higher input costs yet. As the majority of lending to the business is at a fixed rate, they will not be immediately affected by interest rate increases. Despite increasing living costs, the directors of Tamar Labour Agency do not expect to draw money from the business as all capital is vital to settle existing debt.
