- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have considered the financial position of the company at 31 December 2024 and the projected cash flows and financial performance of the company for the 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors have also taken action to ensure that appropriate cash resources are available to fund the company's operations. Therefore, the directors consider, after making appropriate enquiries, that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Turnover in the financial year increased 1,082% to £10.8 million due to 2024 being the first full year of trading since trading activity started on 1 December 2023.”
- “Operating profit margin of 2.8% (2023: 3.0%) was in line with management expectations.”
- “Net assets increased £0.2m to £0.3m due to debtors growth of 151% not fully offset by creditors growth of 142% in first full trading year.”

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
