- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company's immediate parent entity, Markerstudy Group Limited ("MGL"), has provided a letter of support confirming that it will continue to provide financial support to the Company such that it will continue to be able to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Markerstudy Group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its cash reserves and borrowings. The Markerstudy Group's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group should be able to operate within the level of its current cash reserves and borrowings. The Directors are therefore confident that there will be sufficient positive cash flows to support the liquidity and solvency of the Company. On this basis, the Directors continue to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “In September 2023, it was announced that the Markerstudy Group would acquire the UK personal lines broking businesses of the Ardonagh Group, with regulatory approval received in May 2024 and the transaction completing in June 2024. The Company are in the process of leveraging the additional opportunities that being part of this enlarged group will offer, including new work being re-directed from an incumbent supplier to the Company on 3 March 2025.”

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
