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

- Affirmed
“The company will continue to be dependent on the ongoing financial support from fellow group companies to be able to meet its obligations as they fall due. Confirmation has been received from the company's parent company that such financial support will be made available. Based on the above, the director is of the opinion that the company will have access to sufficient financial resources to enable it to meet its obligations to third parties as they fall due, and therefore considers it appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “A shareholder fund raise in January 2024 provided working capital to cover the loss and fund the growth. The company recognised that to attract larger established brands to the portfolio, they need to have established the sales, marketing and operational infrastructure to continue to deliver the exceptional levels of service on a larger scale. The addition of new brands to the portfolio in 2025 has strengthened the company position. The new brands selected are all established within the UK market with scope for further growth and are chosen to compliment the existing portfolio of brands. Brand growth is continuing to be driven through strategic marketing and events and by the sales team driving new routes to market.”
