- 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 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
- “In July 2023 the company began to win major new business and as a result has experienced rapid growth, the turnover increased by 89% up to £56,395,608 (2023: £29,828,512).”
- “This resulted in a second office being established and administrative costs raising by 45%.”
- “The number of internal staff doubled and the company suffered various temporary and one-off costs such as increased recruitment fees, employee expenses and rental costs.”
- “Payments Pro continues to win new business and expand, so is on track for a further 20% growth of turnover in the following year.”
