Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have prepared a going concern analysis following the acquisition of the group by Artisan Acquisitionco Limited on 30 September 2025. With the acquisition of the group all external debt was repaid at the date of completion and funded by an injection of equity by the acquiring business. As a result, there will be no interest payable beyond the 1st October 2025. The Directors have considered the effects of recent macro-economic developments in inflation and interest rates including the impact of recent trading results on the Group and Company for the year ended 31 December 2024. The strong Group and Company liquidity position coupled with a robust trading position, mean the Group and Company are stable from a profit perspective. At the time of approval of this report the Company's trading performance is an improvement on the prior year and in line with expectations. The business forecasts the Group financial performance out up to Dec 2026 to ensure that the Group's liquidity is maintained. The long-term repeat nature of many of the engagements with customers allows the business to accurately forecast revenue and cashflows. We are confident that the Company is well placed to withstand any economic downturn should this occur. We have strong controls in place for the recovery of trade debtors and management of working capital. Having reviewed and modelled the liquidity requirements of the Group we are confident that the Group will continue to operate as a going concern and that we are well placed to meet customer demand and continue growth.”

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
