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

“In assessing the going concern position of the company for the year ended 31 December 2025, the directors have considered the availability of funding alongside the possible cash requirements of the company. At 31 December 2025, the company had cash balances of £136,503 (2024: £75,530) and bank loans totalling £4,121,242 (2024: £4,190,902). In March 2026, the parent group completed a full bank refinancing with its principal lender, NatWest. This new facility totalled £45.0m. The facility secures funding for the Group for a period of 5 years, at a fixed rate margin of 2.15% above SONIA. The Group is forecasted to be in compliance with all its banking covenants on this facility for at least the next 12 months. Considering net liabilities as at 31 December 2025 of £7,562,097 (2024: net current assets of £216,520), based on the company's forecasts, the directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”
