Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors are confident that the company has adequate reserves and resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “With Mayoral and national elections taking place against a challenging economic outlook, BusinessLDN vigorously made the case for a strong and successful capital that creates jobs, drives investment and acts as an engine of growth for the whole UK.”
• “In partnership with our members, BusinessLDN's advocacy for a sustainable TfL funding deal helped keep the city moving; we published a manifesto for the next Government and a manifesto for the Mayor of London, with several of our asks reflected by Sadiq Khan; our campaigning successfully helped to maintain the Graduate Visa route; we shaped the City Hall developer to unlock investment into housing across London; and we worked to get HS2 to Euston, bringing together the private sector with Camden, Network Rail, Department for Transport and others to explore how the project can be funded and delivered.”
• “In addition, we also set out bold proposals to fix Britain's broken childcare system - alongside KPMG and Central District Alliance - which would boost the economy by getting more parents and carers into work; we launched new research with Arup, setting out a blueprint for a business-led UK carbon offsetting fund, as well as steps to improve existing offsetting mechanisms in London; and we held over 100 events, including strong programmes at the MIPIM real estate conference and UKREiiF, plus our Future London conference.”

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
