- Audit opinion
- Qualified
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. As the company's current liabilities exceed its current assets the company is reliant upon the support of its parent undertaking. The parent undertaking has provided a formal letter of support to the company.”
Significant events
- “Our shareholder has taken the decision to cease the Home Alarms service during 2025-2026.”
- “One of the external risks facing ESSL is Local Government Review (LGR). This initiative aims to overhaul local governance structures, enhance service delivery, and address financial challenges faced by councils.”
- “Having the development of Sizewell C in the East Suffolk district comes with risks to ESSL. The development of the site will place a significant demand during construction for particular skill sets.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
