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

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

“These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. After making inquiries, and having considered the key risks, the Company's 2026 budget and medium term plans, cash flow forecasts, and the plans for Syndicates 218 and 1856 ("the Syndicates"), the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Following the acquisition by Starr, the Directors have considered the impact on going concern and believe that the IQUW Group has been purchased by a strongly capitalised business, with the intent for the IQUW Group to form a material part of Starr's international business, and understand that Starr are committed to retaining and building the IQUW Group's current business.”
