Every figure we can publish for this sector
Each row shows what this sector reported, the same measure across the whole sample, and how many companies in the sector carried that figure. The counts differ by row because companies tag different fields, and the median ratio row uses its own smaller count: it needs both figures tagged and creditors above zero.
| Measure | Other service activities | UK-wide | Companies in this figure |
|---|---|---|---|
| In net current liabilities (net current assets below zero) | 39.6% | 37.3% | 280 |
| Holding less cash than the creditors due within one year | 61.2% | 63.8% | 103 |
| Median cash as a share of creditors due within one year | 46% | 48% | 98 |
| With £1,000 or less in the bank at the balance sheet date | 23.0% | 20.6% | 139 |
| Median cash at the balance sheet date | £7,207 | £12,327 | 139 |
Reading these numbers
Other service activities holds the lowest median cash of any sector shown, £7,207 against a UK median of £12,327, and 23.0% had £1,000 or less in the bank against 20.6% UK-wide. Its rate of net current liabilities, 39.6%, is above the UK figure of 37.3%, while the share holding less cash than their near-term creditors, 61.2%, comes in below the UK rate of 63.8%. The median company's cash covers 46% of those creditors against 48%. Negative net cash is not published for this sector: too few companies tagged the three figures it needs. What the page can say is that the middle balance is smaller than the sample's and the median cover a little thinner. Your own dates decide what that means.
Where these numbers come from. The Companies House monthly accounts bulk product, which is free and public, for accounts filed in June and July 2026. Dataset 2026-08: 10,000 filings randomly sampled (seed-reproducible), 6,863 with usable iXBRL facts; SIC joined from BasicCompanyDataAsOneFile-2026-08-01. Balance sheet facts were read from the filings themselves; each figure carries its own count of companies, because companies do not all tag the same fields.
Small companies file balance-sheet-only accounts with no profit and loss, so nothing on this page describes cover over time. Every claim here is cash against what is owed. Full method, definitions and caveats. This sector page draws on 307 sampled companies.
