- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 to 30 September 2026 from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “In December 2024 the Company acquired the trading assets of Caytons Law LLP.”
- “The Company made a profit before tax of £1,781k compared to the profit before tax of £1,353k in 2023. The principal drivers of this increase in profit before tax is due to £2,615k increase in Turnover due to the Caytons revenue accrual, which was partially offset by increase of £2,212k in administrative costs as a result of an increase in staff costs.”

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
