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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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.”
Group structure
- VERIFILE LIMITED · parent
- Portuguese subsidiary
Significant events
- “Our ongoing investment in technology enabled the launch of our candidate portal, providing the most up-to-date platform in the industry for new candidates undergoing checks. Furthermore, we expanded our API Action Engine, increasing the number of integrations with ATS providers driving further growth in sales.”
- “In 2024, we successfully maintained all our accreditations, covering major industry standards. We also received accreditation from the Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA) under the General Background Screening Accreditation Programme.”
- “Despite ongoing challenges in the recruitment sector and subdued economic confidence, turnover increased modestly by 1% to £11,502,721 (2023: £11,365,598). With tight cost controls this leads to a smaller loss before tax for the year of £273,432 (2023 loss: £558,817).”
- “Following the launch of our Candidate Portal, we plan to introduce our Client & Management Portal within the next 12 months.”
- “In 2025, we established a Portuguese subsidiary to access software and technical talent, accelerating our technological development.”
