- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 group or parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “During 2024 all growth was organic within the established SaaS businesses both in revenue and net profit.”
- “Our long-term investment in 'VEGA' continues to progress very well and will see a completely new version of the procurement platform launched in 2025.”
- “Ebbon Intelligence is a start-up business under Ebbon Group. The business' initial platform, RALPH™, will commence first customer trials later in 2025”
- “The joint CEO's and central group team, with the help of a M&A specialist company, continued to seek an appropriate business to acquire through the course of the year. Having reviewed several opportunities, we decided not to progress with any of these through to completion.”
- “In 2024, along with other local initiatives, we were proud to agree a partnership with Oxfordshire Youth as a Business Guardian”

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
