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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Whilst the Group has net liabilities at the year end of £18,296,475 (2023: £16,227,171) and net current liabilities of £2,209,641 (2023: £1,609,498) the Group's underlying trade is strong and has generated significant EBITDA during the current year and also generated significant levels of cash from the operating activities of the Group as detailed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This is expected to continue into 2025 and beyond. For these reasons the directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “The Company operates three UK-based directory websites in the care sector, focusing on older person care and day nurseries. Through annual subscriptions, care providers receive enhanced listing profiles, job advertising, review services, and dedicated call-to-action features for care placements. These services connect care seekers with suitable providers and supply providers with enquiry details, helping to facilitate informed choices throughout the sector.”
- “Our websites rely heavily on strong search engine visibility, which can fluctuate due to changes in algorithms and user behaviour. To mitigate these risks, senior management continuously refines our products and broadens our marketing strategy to maintain and improve rankings.”
- “At the same time, rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) including generative search and automated content creation-could disrupt how users discover and engage with online content. We are closely monitoring AI trends and exploring opportunities to integrate relevant technologies, ensuring our platforms remain competitive and well-positioned in an evolving digital landscape.”
- “The business operates in the older person care and childcare sectors which have ongoing challenges and risks around funding, recruitment and infection control. We remain committed to being a valuable resource to help care seekers find the right care, and to help care providers attract new clients. Various turnover protection and investment strategies have been implemented to mitigate the risk to our business.”
