Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Director's 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 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

• “In 2024 the Company successfully bought back 4 more franchisees, details of which can be found in note 11. In 2025 the Company continued with its buy-back strategy, details of which can be found in note 20, and is fully on track to have completed all of its intended buy-backs by the end of 2025.”
• “During the period, the Company has acquired the franchises for Sywell, Milton Keynes, Gateshead and Peterborough. Each transaction has been accounted for from the date of sale and purchase arrangement under IFRS 3. The total consideration for the acquisitions was £6,957,812.”
• “The Company has continued with its buy-back strategy since the period end... Another 8 franchisees have been bought back in 2025 to the date of this report and the Company intends to acquire no more franchisees from the date of this report to the 2025 period end.”

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
