- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In March 2025, the LHi Group Limited Employee Ownership Trust refinanced its borrowings, over which the group has provided a guarantee, by entering into a new £20 million loan facility with HSBC. The proceeds from this facility were used to partially repay the existing loan note holders.”
- “The group has, during the year, increased its temporary client base, enabling growth in revenue and gross profit whilst also providing increased certainty over cashflows. The group now employs 332 staff (2023: 370) across offices in London, Manchester, Berlin, Bristol, Munich, New York, Austin, Miami and Los Angeles.”

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
