Material uncertainty over going concern
During the year, the decision was made to transfer the trade of the company to fellow subsidiary, Acorn Insurance and Financial Services Limited. In January 2025 the company applied to remove its licence to operate as a broker. Consequently, the directors have determined that the going concern basis of preparation is not appropriate. The financial statements have been prepared on a break-up basis.
