Material uncertainty over going concern
The Company's parent undertaking, Arbuthnot Latham and Co., Limited announced on 11 January 2023, that following a strategic review of the business, the management of Arbuthnot Latham has taken the decision to exit the short-term specialist lending market and as a result, the Company is closed to new business. The existing loan book will be managed down. The Parent will provide funding to ensure ASFL can meet financial obligations as they fall due. Therefore, the Company's financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 have been prepared on a basis other than going concern.
