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.

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.”

Significant events

• “Full year turnover increased from £9.3m to £12.9m as we increased activity across all areas of the business, Personal Injury, Flight Delay and Motor Finance Mis-selling.”
• “Clarity following the Supreme Court decision in HASSAM V RABOT led to our settling a large number of Personal Injury files that had been held up prior to the decision, and furthermore led to improved case turnaround times since creating significant benefit in the year.”
• “The performance of Flight Delay continued to improve and we continue to set investment capital aside to further grow the business where to the best of our knowledege we remain significant market leaders.”
• “Mis-sold motor finance claims continue to face a multifaceted challenge in an evolving regulatory and legal landscape. There remains much uncertainty as the FCA extends the deadline for lender responses to 4 December 2025 and the FOS imposes a £250 fee on professional representatives in a move that will discourage claims from being brought. Meanwhile, pivotal appeals in the Johnson, Hopcraft, and Wrench cases and Barclays' judicial review add further legal uncertainty.”
• “The biggest challenge remains not knowing when claims will finally be paid or how much redress can be expected making an ROI impossible to predict.”
• “Staff numbers have increased slightly during the year but are set to stabilise, however we have increased our use of an overseas outsourced work provider where we find labour easier to access, more flexible and more cost effective.”
• “We take the security of our clients' data and our digital irfrastructure very seriously. To mitigate the risk of website hacking and data breaches, we employ robust cybersecurity measures, including encryption, multi-factor authentication, and continuous network monitoring.”
• “The business contuinues to comfortably self fund its investments thereby eliminating the risk of any interest rate exposure.”
• “Credit balances in the business bank account are invested in term deposit accounts in order to maximise interest receipts.”
• “An interim dividend of £437,500 was declared in April 2025 in respect of the year ended 31 December 2025.”
