Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

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

Going concern
Affirmed

“Notwithstanding net current liabilities of £13,597,037 as at 31 December 2024, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. After reviewing the Group's forecasts and projections, which cover the 12-month period from the date of signing the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Additionally, The Company has obtained a letter of financial support from its ultimate parent, Global Business Travel Group Inc., to provide necessary funding to continue business operations.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
