Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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 assessed the ongoing business activities and the potential impact that general global economic conditions may have on the liquidity, performance and financial position of the Company for at least the next 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. In line with the Group approach, the Company's forecasts and projections take account of i) reasonably possible declines in revenue less pass-through costs; and ii) remote declines in revenue less pass-through costs for stress-testing purposes compared to 2024. As at 31 December 2024, the Company had net current assets of £2,207,550 and net assets of £2,221,316 and can meet its short and long-term obligations as they fall due. As disclosed in note 2 and 17 to these financial statements, the Company has been sold to a Director after the year end. The Director intends to continue current operations for the foreseeable future. The Directors have considered the Company's financial position, including its funding arrangements at the balance sheet date and the expected funding arrangements under the new ownership, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Based on this assessment, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
