Key figures
The last accounts filed were full accounts made up to 31 January 2020, 44 months before it failed. Private companies have nine months after their year end to file, so a gap of more than 21 months usually means the next accounts were overdue, one of the warning signs worth checking for.
The full filing history, including any late filings, charges and director changes, is on Companies House.
