Going concern

Affirmed

“The strong financial performance and cash balances provide confidence that Dolce will continue to perform successfully and meet its financial obligations both in 2024/2025, but also in the 2025/2026 financial year. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial accounts.”

Significant events

• “During the year, the group was finally able to repay all remaining amounts due ahead of schedule in respect of the Coronavirus Business Interruption Scheme (CBILS) loan, during March 2024.”
• “Post year-end unfortunately saw 2024/2025 increases on menu staples such as potatoes, broccoli and cheese, with increases on those products and others being of such a scale the overall shopping basket rose by greater than 8% by November 2024.”

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
