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

- 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 group's or the parent 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
- “A capital raise was completed in 2022 to clear debt and accrued interest accumulated during the COVID period. A further raise in 2023 provided funding to continue development of the core wedding gift list business and to launch LittleList. In December 2024, a £5m debt-for-equity swap was undertaken, further reinforcing the balance sheet.”
- “The latter part of 2023 and 2024 marked the start of a more disciplined cost-reduction programme. The Group implemented restructuring, supplier renegotiations, and technology improvements, including automation and Al-powered tools.”
