- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Given our performance in 2024, our 2025 budget, and our medium/long term plans (which are updated every year), the Directors have a good expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors have reviewed the working capital requirements of the company in conjunction with the invoice discounting facility which has a £6m cap and is not due for renewal until May 2026 and a cash flow forecast which has been prepared to May 2026. The directors are satisfied that the company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months. Therefore, we continue to prepare the annual financial statements on a going concern basis and believe that the business is viable beyond the next 12 months.”
