“The Directors consider that the company has adequate resources to remain in operation for the foreseeable future and have therefore continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The company closed the year with net liabilities of £7,905,964 (31 December 2023: £5,875,821). The parent company of Mollie's Motels Limited has an interest-free loan facility of £25,000,000. The loan is repayable with 30 days' notice, but the lender has provided confirmation they will not seek repayment of these funds for a period of at least 12 months from the signing date of the financial statements. As at the date of the signing of the financial statements, the company has currently drawn down £13,200,000 from this facility which is being used to provide working capital and allow the company to expand across new sites. The parent company and Mollie's Motels Limited have the same directors and control and therefore, management are satisfied that Mollie's Motels Limited will continue to be supported by its parent for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. Management have prepared cashflow forecasts for the company up to December 2026. Combined with the loan facility discussed above, the forecasts indicate that the company has sufficient funds to trade for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. As a result, the directors believe that the business has more than adequate funding to meet its liabilities as they fall due. For this reason, the directors consider it appropriate for the company to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The company's largest site is in it's final stages of development in Manchester and is targeted to open in FY25. The company has made good progress on its immediate expansion plan with target locations earmarked and a number of potential sites being explored with a view to securing its future pipeline of openings.”

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
