- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company made a loss in 2023 and 2024 and saw a reduction in cash and cash equivalents in 2024. However, 2024 saw an improvement in gross margin from 41.9% to 43.5% and a 7.3% reduction in administrative expenses, producing a loss before tax 47.6% smaller than in 2023. The market continues to be challenging in 2025, however with further efficiencies and improvements in sales generation in 2025 and 2026, the directors are confident that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company has seen a decrease in its cash position at the year end and is monitoring the cash flow of the business as part of its regular forecasting process. Following the year end, the Company agreed a working capital debt facility of up to £2m with Close Brothers Invoice Finance. Trading has improved in the second half of 2025 and the Directors are satisfied that this facility gives sufficient headroom to mitigate the risk of late payments from customers. Based on the factors noted above, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events
- “On 24 November 2025 the Company agreed a working capital debt facility of up to £2m with Close Brothers Invoice Finance, secured by a fixed charge over the Company's assets. This replaces the £250,000 bank overdraft held with Barclays Bank by The Risk Advisory Group (Holdings) Limited and the remaining balance payable by The Risk Advisory Group (Holdings) Limited in respect of the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme agreed with Barclays Bank in 2020.”

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
