Material uncertainty over going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. As set out in the Strategic report, on the 31 January 2025, Card Factory plc took the decision to close the Getting Personal website. Accordingly, management intend to liquidate the Company after the orderly wind down of the business. Card Factory plc intends to make available funds to support and facilitate this, therefore the Company will remain in existence until this wind-down is complete. Due to this intention to liquidate, the going concern basis of accounting is no longer appropriate.

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
