- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The Company continues its growth trajectory with Turnover up nearly 16% to £12,699,000 due to continuing growth of new branches opened in the last couple of years, an acquisition of three new branches in August 2024, which added 48 to our headcount and ongoing organic growth across some of our mature offices.”
- “Since year end we have invested in a book of business domiciled across 3 offices in the Highlands & Islands of Scotland. This has come on stream as at 5 August 2024 as 3 new "branch offices" of TL Dallas & Co Limited and complements our footprint in Scotland connecting our existing offices in the central belt and Shetland.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
