Mia & James Limited

Mia & James Limited, based in Colchester, UK, is a small, active company founded seven years ago. With a single employee and £60,294 in assets, it operates from a virtual address shared by 47 other companies, a detail that raises some eyebrows. The company is led by two directors, with Dalgety Lai as the sole owner.

The company’s website, infomiajamesconstruction.com, reveals a more substantial operation than its size might suggest. It’s a construction and interior design firm specializing in residential and commercial projects. The site highlights services ranging from loft conversions and kitchen renovations to luxury home construction and sustainable building practices. It even offers cost calculators for kitchen, bathroom, and home extensions, a clear indication of an e-commerce element to their business. The site emphasizes a “turnkey experience,” covering design, construction, interiors, and staging—a comprehensive approach aimed at attracting clients seeking a one-stop solution. They even offer a homeowner's guide to sustainable construction.

Financially, Mia & James Limited presents a mixed picture. While cash bank on hand increased slightly to £53,000, a concerning trend emerges from the depreciation of fixed assets. Property, plant, and equipment all saw a 25% decrease, indicating potential underinvestment or asset write-downs. Net assets have also fallen by a significant 37% to £5,200, and net current assets have dropped even further, by 44%. Trade creditors increased by 7.2%, suggesting they are relying more on credit from suppliers. It’s worth noting that the company meets the criteria to be considered small, with turnover under £10.2 million, assets under £5.1 million, and fewer than 50 employees. The accounts are unaudited, a common exemption for small companies.

Despite the concerning trends in equity and asset values, the company’s website and service offerings suggest a focus on growth and innovation. The emphasis on sustainable building practices and the comprehensive range of services indicate a forward-thinking approach. It will be interesting to see if they can turn things around and continue their expansion.
