FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

We are unable to comment on the SC financial position as the SC is not required by the law to file its financial statement in the Registrar of Business.

 

 

COMMENTS

 

Incorporated in 1958, the SC known as sole-proprietorship. The SC is principally engaged in the trading of sundry goods. Having been in the business for 49 years, the SC has developed an extensive clientele based.

           

The SC concentrates solely on the local market. Therefore, the SC’s business risk is high. The SC has 11 employees in its operation and the overall management capability of the SC can be regarded as average.

           

As a sole-proprietorship, the SC is not required to file its financial account. As such we are not able to comment on the SC's financial standing.         

           

Investigation revealed that the SC's supplies are sourced from both local and overseas suppliers. Hence, the SC is subjected to currency fluctuation risk and high operating costs.  The  industry shows an upward trend and this trend is very likely to sustain in the near future. With the promising outlook of the industry performance, the business potential of the SC should be favourable.            

           

In view of the above and based on our assessment, we only recommend credit be granted to the SC under guarantee.
