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

- Affirmed
“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
- “the market has been flat for much of the year to 31 March 2025, with signs of recovery only showing for Compass in late February/early March 2024.”
- “we welcome the new Labour government's decision to push ahead with the plans for Tackling non-compliance in the umbrella company market that are due to take effect in April 2026.”
- “as early adopters of SafeRec, a new compliance technology that provide real-time compliance for both contractors and agencies alike, we expect to see a net positive impact from any legislation.”
- “malpractice is still rife and continues to erode trust in the industry.”
- “while the incidence of major Cyber-attacks within the industry has decreased, an increasing number of large corporations have been targeted, so the threat level has increased.”
