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
“During the year the company made a profit before tax of £660,737 (2023 - loss before tax of £324,507). At 31 December 2024, the company had net current assets of £6,500,196 (2023 - £7,924,313) and net assets of £9,891,617 (2023 - £11,984,971). The directors have considered the current economic climate and prepared forecasts up to October 2026, and are satisfied that the company has adequate resources to continue in existence for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Turnover for the year was £31.6m (2023 - £23.3m), as a result of the implementation of new marketing strategies.”
- “The company has made significant improvement to its IT infrastructure and backup policies and feel that even a catastrophic failure here could be rectified within days or even hours so that the running of the website (the company's principal sales channel) would not be significantly affected.”
- “The company has also invested in its resources to ensure that the customer experience is continually improving as reflected in the company's TrustPilot score.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
