- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 group's and the parent 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
- “The period to 31 December 2024 proved challenging due to fierce competition in the sector and difficulty in sourcing quality stock.”
- “Increasing finance costs also impacted on customer demand, turnover for the 7 month period was consistent and in line with the previous 12 month period.”
- “Overall gross margin for the year was up from 5.5% to 5.9% with margins for the year still being affected by the price sensitivity of electric vehicles.”
- “Overheads remain under tight control but have increased over the year due to inflationary pressures and increased finance costs.”
- “After taxation the group made a loss of £7,933 (2024 - Loss £13,708)”
