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

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “The emergence and popularity of electric vehicles is a risk for the business, but also an opportunity. The directors are looking to introduce fast charging points on site, and are developing their sites to include more food and drink options, and convenience stores.”
- “It is possible that the cost of living crisis and fuel costs may continue to reduce customer travel and spend. The directors have introduced an 'everyday value' shopping range to make basic foodstuffs more affordable.”
- “The company is pursuing a further loss of profits claim in respect of the loss of some land at one of the petrol stations as a result of local council action to reconfigure the road system around the site. The claim was agreed in July 2025 at approximately £370,000 plus statutory interest. Fees in the region of £65,000 have been incurred to finalise the claim.”
- “On 18 November 2025 the issued share capital of Raisfuel Limited was acquired by a newly formed holding company, Raisfuel Holdings Limited. That company is also controlled by the Patel family.”
