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
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company made a profit after tax for the year of £0.1 million (2024: £1.2 million) and had net assets at the balance sheet date of £0.64k (2024: £0.1 million net liabilities). During the year, the company has invested in new technology including implementing a new integrated CRM, Pay & Bill and Compliance Onboarding platform. This technology will enable the company to take advantage of process automation and AI. Additionally, the company has continued its focus on reducing fixed overheads including property and IT costs. As a result, the directors believe that the company will be able to continue in business and meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
