Going concern
Affirmed

“For Going Concern, Capital Economics Group "the Group" of which the company is wholly owned by, is considered as a whole. The Group has a stable, substantial client base and has net cash resources. The Group is funded by its bank debt, loan notes and preference shares, which are not due for repayment within the going concern period, which is 12 months from date of signing. The directors therefore do not expect the need for additional external funding.”

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
