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

Audit & accounting basis

- Auditor

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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
- “Successfully transitioning to a forward flow funding model, reducing financial risk and ensuring greater liquidity certainty.”
- “Completing the sale of the Company's loan portfolio as part of its transition to a balance sheet light model.”
- “Restructuring into a single-entity structure, removing the previous group status, and streamlining governance and reporting processes.”
- “Achieving B-Corp status, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to our employees, our customers and the planet.”
- “On 12 February 2024, the company sold the loan portfolio held within Selina HELOC I Limited to an independent third party. From this date, the company no longer exercised control over the SPV and there was no further activity within the entity. Selina HELOC I Limited was formally dissolved on 21 December 2024.”
