Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“As part of the continual review the directors have prepared financial projections for twelve months from the date of issue of these financial statements. These projections have been sensitised based on various levels of revenue and assessed against the available cash headroom. The directors feel that the business has a strong pipeline and will remain cash positive throughout the twelve months from the date of signing. As of December 2024, the company had £3.5m in cash and given forecasted trading in FY2025 and FY2026 expect to continue to have positive cashflow throughout FY2025 and FY2026. The company will be self-sufficient and does not expect to require any external support from group companies. Based on this review the directors believe the company will have sufficient resources for at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements to meet its liabilities as they fall due and as such the financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
