- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the consolidated financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the consolidated 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 group's or the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the consolidated financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year end, the group entered into a new lease agreement for office premises located on Ack Lane East, Bramhall, Stockport on 18 November 2024. The lease is for a period of 10 years, with annual lease payments of £125,802 per annum, resulting in total future lease commitments of £1,258,020.”
- “This lease replaces the existing lease on Ack Lane East, Bramhall, Stockport which will be surrendered as part of the new agreement. The surrender occurred on 18 November 2024, after the year-end. As the agreement was entered into after the reporting date and does not relate to conditions existing at the year-end, it is classified as a non-adjusting event. The financial statements have not been adjusted to reflect this new lease.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
