Watchouts
Facts from the Companies House register and the latest accounts — not a rating
-
Material uncertainty over going concern
In the unlikely event the debt is called, the Group would have insufficient resources to repay the SSF at short notice, and would need to immediately seek alternative sources of financing. In that unlikely scenario, there can be no certainty of alternative sources of financing being found, and this represents a material uncertainty over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
