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

“The directors have evaluated the company's ability to continue as a going concern, taking into account current economic conditions, industry-wide challenges, and internal financial forecasts. This evaluation included a detailed review of forecasted trading performance and working capital requirements. As outlined in the Strategic Report, trading conditions remain difficult, compounded by ongoing economic uncertainty in the UK driven by elevated inflation, interest rates, and energy costs. In response, the franchisor introduced a series of commercial initiatives across the franchise network in 2025 aimed at enhancing profitability and cash flow. These measures have led to an improvement in gross profit margins, and the company is forecasting an improved financial position for the year ending 31 December 2025 and beyond. The directors acknowledge that the company was in a net current liabilities position at the balance sheet date. This was not unexpected as it is common for franchises to take several years to recover their initial investment, and the business model is structured to support long-term growth rather than short-term returns. Included within creditors due within one year is £1.2 million relating to bank loans. The directors are confident that the company has sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations. Also included within the creditors due within one year is £3.9m relating to trade creditors, of which is largely owed to the franchisor, McDonald's, who has previously demonstrated flexibility and support, including the provision of extended credit terms when necessary. Considering the continued support from stakeholders and the company's financial forecasts, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue to operate for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
