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 considering the going concern status of the Company, the directors have reviewed mandated recurring and transactional advisory revenue, committed expenditure liquidity forecasts and available liquid resources as at the date of approving the financial statements. The directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Market conditions remained challenging with unfavourable macroeconomic factors and general market uncertainty leading to poor stock market valuations and a decline in liquidity and trading activity, particularly on the AIM Market. IPO activity was sparse, among the lowest since the financial crisis of 2008/9, and the fundraising environment challenging. Conditions improved slightly in the final quarter of the year.”
• “Following the election of the new Labour government in July 2024, proposed or mooted changes to tax treatment, such as inheritance tax relief on AIM shares, have created further uncertainty for investors and companies, weakening demand.”
• “During 2024, the company lost four clients as a result of delisting, with two moving to competitors, one terminated by Strand Hanson, and two forgoing the financial advisory role citing cost streamlining. The company added six new clients to its roster.”
• “In 2024, following changes implemented by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to reform current listing rules and competency requirements for the sponsorship regime, the company submitted a formal application for a sponsor licence and was officially approved by the FCA in May 2025.”
