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

- Going concern
- 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 group's and parent 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.”

Significant events
- “Closing one of the loss-making branches has had an impact and the freehold will be sold in 2025 to aid cashflow and enable the group to actively seize any other opportunities that might present themselves.”
- “The group is in talks with an existing partner to add an additional marque to the portfolio.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
