“Following work undertaken and enquiries made, the Directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage the risks facing it and are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources for at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements (see Note 2).”
Significant events

- “Following the Markerstudy Group acquisition of the UK personal lines broking businesses of the Ardonagh Group (completed in June 2024), the business was integrated into a new broader operating division within the Markerstudy Group, known as Markerstudy Distribution.”
- “The net assets of the Company have increased due to a share issue during the year.”
- “Revenue fell by 13% compared to 2023 due to a lower volume of transactions in 2024.”
