- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The expected reduction in turnover recorded during the year resulted from a planned transfer of clients to another company within the Group. Consistent with the fall in revenue, AUM decreased to £91m as at 31 December 2024, compared to £230m as at 31 December 2023, reflecting the transfer of clients within the Group.”
- “The directors are currently assessing the future of the company and expect current trading to cease within 12 months from the year end. The directors deauthorised the company from the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA"), effective 9 September 2025.”
- “On 1 November 2024, the company relocated to new premises in London. A new lease was taken out by a fellow group company and as from this date premises costs are no longer incurred by this company.”

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
