Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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

Affirmed

“At the balance sheet date, the company made a profit for the year of £71k and had net assets at that date of £3,683k. Subsequent to the year end, the business has traded profitably ahead of budget and significantly ahead of the same period in 2024. The outlook for 2025 is ahead of 2024 as consumer confidence returns, interest rates begin to fall and the business is once again able to sell insurance and other value added products. Management continue to investigate new ways to conduct business and develop manufacturer relationships, which combined with ongoing capital investments result in the company trading profitably. We continue to enjoy the full support of the bank and our franchise partners, all of whom are kept fully informed on the ongoing cashflow forecasts and financial performance projections. As a result, the directors believe that the company will be able to continue in business and meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
