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 opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have considered the impact of the ongoing geopolitical conflicts and the resulting inflation and supply chain issues, on the trading and operational performance of the company. The nature of the company's business, being a software provider, means the majority of operational activities can be delivered and managed remotely. In light of the uncertainty created by the current economic climate, the company closely monitors the trading and cashflow of the company to ensure it is able to continue and extend its cash runway well beyond a twelve month horizon from signing these financial statements. The directors' assessment of the company's going concern status included a review of the latest scenario forecasts adjusted for the potential impacts of the current economic climate and the resultant impact on future cash and working capital levels. Following their assessment, the directors have considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis when preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Following the group's strategic decision in 2023 to fully transition to remote working, the company terminated its office lease arrangement. This transition was completed in 2023, resulting in the elimination of office-related expenses in 2024.”
- “During 2023 the directors and the MessageBird group decided that staff would work remotely. Reflecting the change in working practice, on 18 July 2023 the lease was assigned to another company and a sum of £186,555 was held in Escrow as a damages contribution in respect of dilapidations and reinstatement obligations on exit and included in debtors greater than one year (see note 14).”
