Summary
Zainab Limited is a small, active company based in Loughton, UK, founded 24 years ago in 2000. With £29,147,222 in assets, it operates from a virtual address, managed by three directors and two owners—a family business. The company regularly imports and exports essential oils and perfumes, with 44 months of import activity and 90 months of export activity, the latest in February 2025 and January 2025 respectively. It’s a wholesale business focused on perfume and cosmetics.
The company’s website, Zainab Bottlers, reveals a different focus: bottled water distribution in Mombasa and Zanzibar. The site emphasizes safe, clean drinking water and offers free water delivery throughout Zanzibar. It operates from 8 AM to 5 PM Monday to Saturday, and offers online orders and phone support. The site also mentions a 7-day-a-week order service. It's a clear shift from the perfume and cosmetics wholesale business described in the company report.
Financially, Zainab Limited’s numbers present a mixed picture. Cash bank on hand fell by 34% to £360,000, while creditors increased significantly, rising 190% to £24 million. Current assets grew by 130% to £29 million, but trade debtors ballooned by 230% to £24 million. Equity increased by 11% to £4.9 million, but property, plant, and equipment increased by 4800% to £28,000. 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 increase in creditors suggests it’s relying more on borrowed funds. There's no mention of an auditor, likely due to its small size. The accounts are abridged and unaudited.
Despite the growth in assets, the rise in creditors and the decrease in cash reserves suggest Zainab Limited is burning through money. The shift to bottled water distribution, while potentially lucrative, may be a response to challenges in the perfume and cosmetics market. Whether the company can successfully balance its wholesale and distribution businesses remains to be seen.
