Five Sisters Zoo Limited

Five Sisters Zoo Ltd is a small, active company based in West Calder, UK, founded fifteen years ago in 2010. It operates as a holding company with 68 employees and holds £206,731 in assets. The zoo, with three directors and one owner, is a real address with four companies registered there. It’s an irregular importer, with its top import category being Toys, games, and sports equipment, imported for one months.

The zoo’s website highlights its role as a visitor attraction, conservation center, soft play area, and educational resource. It’s open daily, offering a walk on the wild side with over 160 species, including Scotland’s only cheetah. Visitors can enjoy an onsite restaurant, play park, indoor soft play, and gift shop. The website also promotes animal rescue work and special events.

Financially, Five Sisters Zoo Ltd’s report shows a mixed picture. Current assets have decreased significantly by 66% to £210,000, while net assets have fallen by 71% to £120,000. Bank borrowings have increased by 45% to £300,000, and cash reserves have plummeted 96% to just £17,000. Trade debtors have risen by 63%, suggesting potential payment delays. Despite the small size (meeting two of three criteria for turnover under £10.2m, assets under £5.1m, and fewer than 50 employees), the sharp decline in equity and cash is concerning. With no auditor mentioned, the figures rely on unaudited statements.

The zoo’s financial challenges may be due to seasonal fluctuations in visitor numbers or increased operating costs. However, the continued emphasis on conservation and education suggests a commitment to long-term sustainability, even if it’s facing short-term pressures.
