Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
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' and the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The financial statements are prepared in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the company.
Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention.
Going concern
Management have assessed a number of factors in respect of the appropriateness of the going concern assertion, including the residual impact of the Covid-19 pandemic as well as the fluctuations in interest rates that have occurred in the year and post year end. There exists a risk that these conditions may lead to customers being unable to pay their loans leading to an increase in arrears or default rates.
Management have actively monitored cash flow and prepared cash flow forecasts which are updated on a quarterly basis to assess funding requirements.
After due consideration of these factors the Directors continue to apply the going concern basis to the preparation of the financial statements.

Revenue recognition
Turnover represents amounts chargeable in respect of arrangement fees and finance charges (exclusive of VAT where applicable) on the provision of finance to customers.
Revenue is recognised on arrangement fees on the inception of the agreement. Finance charges are recognised on an actuarial basis over the life of the agreement.
Tax
Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences at the balance sheet date unless indicated below. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and the results as stated in the profit and loss account and other comprehensive income. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
Fixtures and fittings |
25% reducing balance method |
Investments
Fixed asset investments are stated at historical cost less provision for any diminution in value.
Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Financial instruments
Classification
• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors;
• Inter company loans
• Cash and bank balances.
All financial instruments are classified as basic.
Recognition and measurement
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.
Instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.
Critical judgement and estimation uncertainty
In applying the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In the opinion of the Directors the following areas are where judgement has been exercised:
Bad debt provisioning
Given the nature of the business bad debt provisioning is a significant area of management judgement. Management review all ledger balances at the balance sheet date, and consider whether a provision is necessary in light of their knowledge of payments being made in the year, any arrears existing, and any events after the year end indicating a risk of non payment. In addition to specific provisions a general bad debt provision is also maintained.
