- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Since the balance sheet date, the company has continued to trade profitably and in line with expectations. Consequently, at the time of approving the financial statements, the directors having reviewed the forecasts have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to meet their liabilities for at least the next 12 months based on the current balance sheet position and on-going trading results. Thus, the directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events
- “Turnover has decreased by 22.3% to £88.6m in 2025 (2024: £114.0m). The reduction in turnover is linked to several external factors, including economic headwinds, changing legislation and reducing hiring activity in key sectors.”
- “Gross profit decreased by 28.1% in 2025 to £22.3m (2024: £31.0m). This is primarily due to the changes to legislation impacting the Health and Social Care business.”
- “Prospero has invested considerably in technology, regulated initiatives and marketing to enhance our offering to our candidates and clients.”
