FFS! If you don't know that, just why are you looking to buy - and presumably operate - a business?
Trade debtors are people you've sold things to who haven't paid you. Trade creditors are suppliers you haven't paid yet. Other creditors and accruals (not accruels...) are provisions for bills you know are coming but haven't been presented yet, like wages, bank charges and so on.
On those numbers, and given your apparent skill level, walk very quickly in the opposite direction...

You can't even be sure all those trade debtors will pay up or that you could sell the stock if you had to.
Stock can potentially be a nightmare. Valuation in accounts will usually be based on cost price but HMRC may not accept that basis if you have to close the company, rather insisting on a commercial valuation.Last edited by xoggoth; 14 August 2009, 13:14.bloggoth

PS By the same token it could sell for a lot more of course. You need to make a judgement about the commercial value of the stock.bloggoth
