Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102 §1A
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Abridged
- Yes — abridged accounts (limited disclosure)
- Auditor
- Ernst & Young LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Having assessed the responses to their enquiries, the directors concluded that due to the company being in a net liabilities position, parental support was required. Hence, a parental support letter from Ben Nevis Bidco Limited, a significant part of the company's ownership structure, was put in place to provide a reasonable expectation that the company has appropriate resources to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The company began trading on 1 March 2023 and broadened its capabilities in 2024 by welcoming Tokio Marine and Chaucer as additional capacity providers.”
- “The turnover in 2024 reflects commissions from both new business and renewal income for the underwriting years of 2023 and 2024. In contrast, the turnover in 2023 solely comprised of commission from new business.”
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
