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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | 0.3% | -0.0% | |
| Return on capital employed | 1.8% | -0.3% | |
| Current ratio | 3.35x | 3.46x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors, having made inquiries, have a reasonable expectation that the Company has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Following the acquisition by Starr, the Directors believe the IQUW Group has been purchased by a strongly capitalised business, and Starr are committed to retaining and building the Company's current business. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 29 October 2025, Starr International Company, Inc. ("Starr"), a global investment and insurance organisation, announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire IQUW Holdings Bermuda Limited ("IQUW HBL") and its subsidiaries (the "IQUW Group"). The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026.”
