Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group reported an overall loss, primarily driven by payments made to the Employee Ownership Trust ("EOT"). Excluding these payments, the Group generated an underlying operating profit, demonstrating the strength of its core trading activities. The former shareholders, to whom the EOT-related payments are due, have formally agreed to defer the remaining amounts until such time as Perrett Laver Limited ("the Company") has surplus cash available after meeting its ongoing operational and financial obligations. This agreement provides the Company with additional financial flexibility and ensures that cash outflows relating to EOT obligations do not compromise the Group's ability to meet its other liabilities as they fall due. Taking these factors into account, the directors are satisfied that the Group has sufficient financial resources and continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”

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
