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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “Turnover has increased by 18% from £18.1 million in 2024 to £21.4 million in 2025. The increase in turnover was primarily due to vacancies across the group being filled and a rise in workload for the Solicitors.”
• “Profit after tax increased by 20% from £3.53 million in 2024 to £4.26 million in 2024. The increase in profit after tax was largely due to the increase in bank interest rates since 2024 leading to the group earning higher interest on client monies held.”
• “The risks and uncertainties facing the company are the decrease in long-term demand for commercial properties since working from home has become more common and a risk of properties remaining empty for a period of time causing a loss of income during that time.”
• “The objective of the group is to increase turnover and profitability through strategic expansion and organic growth over every office, whilst also taking advantage of any new business opportunities that arise.”
• “There is a low cash flow risk as the business is generating a positive cash flow from operating activities. There are no large outflows of cash on the horizon in the near future.”
