- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members' 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 LLP'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.”

Significant events
- “On 6 May 2025, the LLP entered into a group-wide security arrangement in favour of Investec Bank PLC, acting as a security agent and trustee for certain beneficiaries. The arrangement includes fixed and floating charges over certain assets of the LLP, including intellectual property and domain names. This charge forms part of a wider group financing structure and does not affect the LLP's ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustment has been made to the financial statements as the event occurred after the reporting date and does not relate to conditions existing at the balance sheet date.”

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
