“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Overall, our business continues to demonstrate resilience and momentum. The directors are satisfied with the financial performance of the Company for the year and are confident that the business model will continue to provide stability and drive growth in the future.”
- “The company has agreed to guarantee £350,000 towards a mortgage for a company with common directors and shareholders.”
- “On 21 October 2024, a dividend was declared of £200,000. On 14 April 2025, a dividend was declared of £215,000. Total dividends declared after the year end is £415,000.”
