Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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

Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“The Directors acknowledge the going concern of the Company is reliant on it attracting new retailers, listing new products, and meeting significant growth targets, or if targets are not met, the Company will need to reduce costs sufficiently on a timely basis which is not guaranteed. As a result, this indicates that a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.”
