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

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. The Company is in a strong position to support UK businesses with their R&D tax advice. The Company's client base is diversified and robust with a large proportion of revenue coming from strong existing client relationships. The Company has no debt or financing arrangements in place and is funded solely through its trading activity and has healthy cash balances. All of this puts the Company in a strong position to support the going concern basis of accounting.”

Significant events

• “2024 was a transitional year for the company and the wider R&D tax relief market. Overall revenues decreased compared to the prior year as a result of the reduction in generosity in R&D tax relief and specifically the SME rate of relief.”
