Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have undertaken an exercise to review the appropriateness of the continued use of the going concern basis and have concluded that it is appropriate. The company has obtained a letter of support from the (indirect) parent company, Motel One Group GmbH, Munich, Germany, with regards to cash needs, including those for the settlement of liabilities, loan payments, payment of tax and other commitments. In assessing the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of preparation, the directors have received written confirmation from the parent company that it can and will provide the support necessary to ensure the Company meets its liabilities as they fall due until 31 December 2026. 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 to 31st December 2026.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
