- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company has net liabilities at 31 December 2024. The Company's ultimate parent undertaking has indicated that it will continue to provide financial support to the Company for at least one year from the date of this directors' report. For this reason, the directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The profit for the financial year was £2,618,000 (2023: loss £3,461,000), with the improvement in profitability for the year primarily due to the elimination of interest payable on the loan to RLMIS, which was settled in full in December 2023.”
- “Since 1 January 2024, the Royal London Group has been impacted by the OECD Pillar II rules designed to ensure that large multinational enterprises pay a minimum effective tax rate of 15% on the income arising in each jurisdiction where they operate.”
- “Subsequent to the year end, the Company entered into a lease agreement on 2 April 2025 for £677,349 per annum, with a non-cancellable period of 10 years.”
