- 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. In considering the appropriateness of adopting the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements, the directors have assessed forecast trading and cash flows for the foreseeable future (being twelve months from the date of approving these financial statements). In doing so they have assessed a range of factors including the global economic climate and inflationary pressures. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors believe that company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and is well placed to generate profits and positive cash flow. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 18 December 2024, the shareholders agreed to a series of restructuring steps, the result of which led to the introduction of Accruecap (Buchanan) Limited as a subsidiary of Accruecap (Maidenhead) Limited and an indirect subsidiary of Accrue (Maidenhead) LLP, as well as revised intragroup and external financing terms.”
- “During the year, the shareholders also renegotiated financing terms with external lenders and refinanced the company's debt facility on substantially more favourable terms.”
- “The company entered into a bank borrowing agreement on the 18 December 2024 that provides the company with external financing until December 2027.”

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
