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

- Affirmed
“The directors have at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existance for the foreseeable future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the date the financial statements are approved. On this basis they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “2024 saw Rubb Buildings Ltd carry out contracts through-out the UK and into Lithuania. Our performance was somewhat hindered via the change of UK government which resulted in a slow down of economic activity.”
