Companies House (CH) indicates that both Ecodot (deceased) and Bill Plant have the same registered address. The last submitted balance sheet suggests that between 2017 and 2018, Bill Plant\u2019s P&amp;L reserves had fallen from a negative \u00a3156k to negative \u00a3563k. They opted not to provide full P&amp;L accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was as of May 2018, and the 2019 submission isn\u2019t due until May 2020. So they could well have technically gone bust and no one would know unless they announced it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4532794719633406\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can\u2019t find any specific information to back this up, but a little bird told me that Bill Plant was in financial difficulties again earlier this year.
