- Sumer Auditco Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “The UK government's decision to delay the 2030 deadline for the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars until 2035 has significantly impacted the EV market.”
- “Demand for used petrol and diesel cars has plateaued, following surges in demand in recent years. With ongoing nationwide competition in the used vehicle market, the company has continued to invest in its website to reach a wider range of customers, thereby maintaining it's market position.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
