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
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Cooper Parry Group Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors of Lind Group Holding Company Limited continue to support the company and 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
- “LIND US faced a particularly difficult year in 2024, with the closure of three out of five businesses - Norwich, Reading, and Watford. Losses increased almost tenfold, rising from just under £300k in 2023 to over £2.4m (before the intragroup loan waiver) in 2024.”
- “Within the year, LIND undertook a strategic review of its intercompany balances and took the decision to waive a significant portion of amounts owed between its companies. This step was designed to strengthen the overall group by reducing debt levels across the group and resulted in the write-off of approximately £6m.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
