Commercial Filters Limited

Commercial Filters Ltd, based in Rochdale, UK, is a small, holding company with an active status, having been founded 24 years ago in 2000. The company employs 22 people and holds £3,337,383 in assets. It has a real address, is overseen by six directors, and is owned by Gdrn Ltd. The company regularly imports machinery, boilers, and mechanical appliances, parts, with 13 months of import activity recorded, the last in January 2024. It exports these items irregularly, with just one month of export activity recorded as of May 2022.

The company operates in the wholesale trade of motor vehicle parts and accessories industries. Its website, commercialfilters.co.uk, emphasizes a no-nonsense approach – “Sht doesn’t care about bottom lines or deadlines.” It positions itself as a supplier of brand filters, delivered quickly, with knowledgeable staff who can “filter out the bullsht.” The site highlights a wide range of filter brands and applications, from plant machinery to small tools, and even offers a trade counter delivery service.

Financially, Commercial Filters Ltd’s report reveals some interesting trends. Bank borrowings have increased significantly, rising by 310% to £290,000, while cash reserves have plummeted 93% to just £54,000. Creditors also increased by 23%, reaching £1.2 million, and trade debtors have ballooned by 26% to £1.3 million. However, net assets increased by 4% to £2.2 million. The company’s small size (meeting two of three criteria for turnover under £10.2m, assets under £5.1m, and fewer than 50 employees) helps it remain agile, but the decrease in cash reserves and increase in borrowings could indicate a need for careful financial management. The company is exempt from an audit as a small company.

The increase in borrowings could be a result of expanding the business, or it could be a sign of increased operating costs. It's also worth noting that the company’s irregular export activity suggests that it may be focusing primarily on the domestic market.
