- Affirmed
“The directors have completed a formal assessment of the Company's financial resources, including its budgets and forecasts, as part of their review of the Societe Generale Equipment Finance Limited and its subsidiary, Societe Generale Equipment Finance (December) Limited. This review took place after the sale to Groupe BPCE and after making appropriate enquiries, the directors have 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 the financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”

Significant events
- “On 28 February 2025, Groupe BPCE acquired the equipment finance business of Societe Generale. Following the acquisition, the company's name was changed from Societe Generale Equipment Finance Limited to BPCE Equipment Solutions UK Limited. These events occurred after the reporting date of 31 December 2024 and therefore the Company will be referenced under its former name Societe Generale Equipment Finance Limited.”
- “Following a Supreme Court judgement on 1 August 2025, the FCA is currently considering a financial redress scheme concerning motor finance consumers who may have suffered harm due to what the FCA deem to be unfair commission arrangements.”

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
