NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Getmyfirstjob Ltd is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


The financial statements are rounded to the nearest whole pound (£).

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going concern
The company continues to be actively supported by investors to fund ongoing product development and growth.

As a social enterprise, the company and its investors are mindful of the unique challenges faced by people from a range of underrepresented groups, including young people, ethnic minorities, and those from lower socio-economic groups. During 2023, a total of £250k was raised from existing investors to ensure the business continued to be able to extend its support for these groups. During the year, the business also accessed a total of £300k from Capchase, which was largely repaid by July 2024.

Given the current economic climate and the nature of the Early Talent market, the business considers that it continues to have sufficient flexibility in its proposition and cost base to adapt its business model if required. The company continues to be exposed to the impact of Government changes in education and the wider policy and employment context which creates a degree of uncertainty.

Included within creditors due within one year is £350k of loans from shareholders of the company. The shareholders have confirmed that they will not seek repayment of the loans before 30 September 2025. The shareholders that have provided loans to the company have also confirmed that they intend to continue their commitment and support for at least the period to 30 September 2025 and do not currently intend to vary the terms of any funding before that date.

The directors believe they have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Turnover
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.

The company recognises revenue when:
- the amount can be reliably measured;
- it is probable the future economic benefits will flow to the entity;
- and specific criteria have been met for the company's activities.

Turnover relating to services provided over a designated period of time are deferred to the relevant period in which the services are provided.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Turnover for project based income is recognised as follows:

New clients and new project/products
30% recognised in the month of invoice to reflect the consultancy work completed to win the project. The remaining turnover is deferred and recognised over the expected economic life of the project.

Existing clients and new projects/products
20% recognised in the month of invoice to reflect a reduction in the amount of consultancy work completed to win the project. The remaining turnover is deferred and recognised over the expected economic life of the project.

Existing customers and existing project/products
10% recognised in the month of invoice to reflect the reduced level of consultancy work required to win the project. The remaining turnover is deferred and recognised over the expected economic life of the project.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Internally generated software is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of three years.

Intangible assets are recognised when it is expected that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the company and when the assets cost can be reliably measured.

At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its intangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures, fittings and equipment-33% on cost and 25% reducing balance

At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified by the director as basic or advanced following the conditions in FRS 102 section 11. Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. The company's only non-basic financial instruments relates to share based payments. This accounting policy is described below.

Share based payments
The company operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan, under which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the entity. The estimated fair value of the employee services received is measured by reference to the estimated fair value at the grant date of equity instruments granted and is recognised as an expense over the vesting period. The estimated fair value of the option granted is calculated by the directors. The total amount expensed is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.

The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.

Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Income Statement over the period of the relevant borrowing.

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Research and development
Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is carried forward when its future recoverability can reasonably be regarded as assured. Any expenditure carried forward is amortised in line with the expected future sales from the related project.

Leasing commitments
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to the profit and loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the lease asset are consumed.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.
