“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On the 20 February 2025, a portion of the company's freehold property was sold to a connected party for £542,000, compared to a carrying value of £640,201. The sale was supported by an open market valuation and was followed by a leaseback arrangement, with the company continuing to occupy and operate from the property.”

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
