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 & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Shaw Gibbs (Audit) Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In drawing their conclusion on the appropriateness of the going concern assumption, the directors have been mindful of the company having net current liability of £52,791 (2023 net current assets: £55,503). ... Therefore, at the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “After the year end, the company entered into a new lease commitment, with a minimum term of 3 years at an initial rent of £72,060 per annum.”
- “After the year end, the company sold the freehold property for £1,000,000.”
