Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, given the performance in 2024 and the forecast growth in 2025 and 2026. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The directors are pleased with the performance of the business in the past 12 months, as turnover for the company during the period increased to £11.9m (2023: £7.1m) as a result of winning new clients and increased spending from existing clients.”
• “During the year company had other income of £0.66m (2023: £nil) as a result of charging staff costs to a fellow WPP subsidiary in respect of a joint client.”
• “A dividend amounting to £470,000 (2023: £1,004,000) was declared and paid during the year.”
• “Following a competitive audit contract tender, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) has been appointed as the company's new independent auditor, commencing with the audit of the company's 2024 financial year.”

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
