Seaweed & Co. Limited

Seaweed & Co. Limited is a small, active company based in North Shields, UK, founded ten years ago in 2014. With three employees and £333,564 in assets, it operates as a solo-founded business with three directors overseeing its operations. The company runs an e-commerce site specializing in seaweed-based food products, skincare, and bath products. It’s an irregular importer of miscellaneous food products, with one month of imports recorded in 2022, but a regular exporter of oil seeds and fruits used for oil, with four months of exports as of January 2025.

The company’s website, The Seaweed Food Co., highlights its commitment to hand-picking seaweed from the beaches of Guernsey and crafting a variety of delicious food seasonings. It also offers skincare and bath products, and even hosts seaweed foraging tours. The site’s blog and social media presence showcase the company's expertise in seaweed’s nutritional benefits and culinary uses, and even features appearances on television shows like James Martin's Saturday Morning. They're even collaborating with Lube UP! to create an seaweed-based anti-chafing cream.

Financially, Seaweed & Co. Limited presents a mixed picture. Current assets dropped by 15% to £330,000, while net assets plummeted 99% to just £760. Bank borrowings remained steady at £43,000, but cash reserves fell by 45% to £83,000. Creditors increased by 27% to £240,000, and trade debtors ballooned by 110% to £160,000. 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 stay agile, but the significant equity drop raises questions. The unaudited figures, overseen by an unnamed auditor, suggest a company facing challenges, but it’s clear that Seaweed & Co. is betting on its unique product line and growing consumer interest in seaweed to sustain its growth.
