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
“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 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
- “In January 2026 the company benefited from a refinancing package from HSBC, reducing interest costs, improving the availability of funds and therefore supporting further growth.”
- “On 8 January 2026, the company entered into a new £2mn sterling term loan facility for the purposes of debt consolidation, of which £2mn was drawn down on that date. The facility carries an interest rate of 2.85% per annum above the Bank of England Base Rate and matures on 8 January 2031.”
