Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Affirmed

“Based on this assessment, the Directors consider that although the Group has net current liabilities, it has an appropriate level of liquidity to meet the demands of the business and has therefore continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “It was a significant year for SFG20 with the launch of our new platform Facilities-iQ in March 2024. This is a revolutionary step forward for the business as it underpins the shift from SFG20 being viewed purely as a technical standard (content), to a Software as a Service product offering a range of solutions which help building owners, managers and maintenance professionals to manage their risk, stay compliant, and keep buildings safe and efficient for occupants.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
