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 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 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.”

- BIZ Karts Inc. 75%
- BIZ Group Holdings Limited 100%
Significant events
- “Biz Karts sales saw an increase of Q1 11%, with reductions in Q2, Q3 and Q4 giving an average of 15% down year on year. Biz Engineering sales figures were hit by trading difficulties in the Building and Construction sector, however there is a steady growth in turnover of 6% year on year.”
- “The US tariff increases and the confusion around this has had a significant impact on Karts export business for the early part of 2025. Management took a decision to write down some US stock values being held in UK as a prudent measure.”
- “The increase in labour costs due to Government legislation increasing Employers' NI and Minimum Wages have affected our UK customers as well as ourselves and have resulted in lower revenue. The result of these impacts mean that headcount has been reduced along with other cost saving initiatives to mitigate the impact on profits.”
- “The high utility costs are impacting our Engineering business mainly due to heavy usage. We have significantly invested in solar panels on our roof to mitigate these increases, but this is still having an impact on our costs.”
- “Exchange rates have stabilised which reduces the risk in currency exposure to our foreign customers and suppliers.”
