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
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “On 30 October 2025 Media Zoo Holdings Limited, the group holding company, successfully completed a capital restructure and strengthened its financial position by securing £1.1m in growth capital through the issuance of new loan notes.”
- “On 31 October 2025 Media Zoo Holdings Limited, the group holding company, acquired 100% of the share capital in Uncertainty Experts Limited. Uncertainty Experts is a business that provides individuals with evidence-based strategies for navigating uncertain times. It is delivered in person and online using creative and digital assets and enhances Mediazoo's product offering. The acquisition brings several new significant clients to the Group and provides tangible upsell opportunities across the Mediazoo offering.”
