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 and 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.”
Group structure
- GENIE SHOPPING (HOLDINGS) LTD · parent

- Genie Ventures Ltd 88.25%
- Broadband Tools Limited 100%
Significant events
- “During 2024, the group achieved substantial overall growth in turnover of 39.7%, primarily due to the growth in the CSS business, which accounted for 89.4% of total revenues, while the broadband comparison website contributed the remaining 10.6%.”
- “Broadband Tools Limited ceased trading. The trade and assets, including goodwill, were transferred into the parent company. Broadband Tools Limited was dissolved on 4 March 2025.”
