Summary
Kafka Mercantile Supply Co., based in Driffield, UK, is a small, active company founded sixteen years ago in 2008. It employs just one person and holds £1,430,352 in assets. With a real registered address and a single director and owner, Kinerk Kim Niles, the business operates a curated online clothing store. It regularly imports toys, games, and sports equipment, with 27 months of import activity recorded, the last in October 2024.
The company’s website, Kafka Mercantile, showcases a wide range of clothing and accessories from various brands, categorized neatly for easy browsing. It also features a blog with articles about garment care and styling tips, suggesting a focus on customer engagement. While the core business is retail sale via mail order and internet, the website’s design and product selection point to a carefully curated selection, targeting a specific customer base.
Financially, Kafka Mercantile shows a mixed picture. Current assets decreased by 7%, dropping to £1,400,000, while net assets also fell slightly, to £1,300,000. Cash reserves declined, though remain substantial at £650,000. Trade debtors decreased significantly, by 23%, which is a positive sign. However, creditors also fell, by 36%, which might indicate a need to manage supplier relationships more closely. The company’s small size (meeting two of three criteria for turnover under £10.2m, assets under £5.1m, and fewer than 50 employees) allows for flexibility, but the decline in assets warrants attention. As a small company, it’s exempt from an audit, so the figures are unaudited.
Overall, Kafka Mercantile seems to be navigating a competitive market with a focus on curation and customer service. The financial trends suggest a need for careful monitoring of assets and supplier relationships, but the company’s strong cash position provides a buffer.
The company operates in Retail → Online & mailorder.
Registered in England/Wales under the registration number 06609907, with a registered address at EC4M 7AU, London, 30 Old Bailey.
