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

Significant events
- “The turbulent macro-economic conditions led to an increase in insolvencies across the wider SME market, with client attrition proving to be a drag on client numbers growth.”
- “The Asset Finance division faced challenges including a high-profile Supreme Court ruling around commission disclosure in the Motor Finance sector (though risk to Time Finance was minor) and disruption from moving premises.”
- “A new front-office system was installed in the Asset Finance division during the later part of the financial year.”
- “Over £8,000 was raised through various events, including a 17 strong team football tournament held in Manchester, bake off challenges, cross country runs and a 'Tough Mudder', for 'The Ben Saunders Foundation'.”
- “The UK economy faced significant uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic, a general election and subsequent change of Government, macro-economic challenges with higher-than-expected inflation, supply chain difficulties and tightening credit conditions leading to an increase in insolvencies.”
