The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the director is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount 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.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Included within Other creditors is an amount owed to a connected company of £12,500 (2023: £12,500)
The company is party to a repurchase agreement with VFS Financial Services Limited. This agreement commits the company to repurchase at a predetermined value, a number of vehicles when the leases between VFS Financial Services Limited and its customers expire, unless the end customer wishes to purchase the vehicle.
At 31 December 2024 the agreed repurchase figure for the vehicles being leased at that date is £1,987,450 (2023: £342,750). The lease expiration dates range from February 2025 to May 2031.
From the £1,987,450, the company has entered into an agreement to sell a number of vehicles totaling £1,554,000 at the repurchase price to a customer. As the purchase and resale prices are equal, and no material costs are expected to be incurred in connection with the transaction, no gain or loss is anticipated.
At the balance sheet date it cannot be known with any certainty whether the buy back on any of the remaining vehicles will be activated.
On this basis, no asset or liability has been recognised and no provision has been made as at 31 December 2024.
The company has confirmed that any liability on subsequent vehicle sale value less than repurchase price which does arise will be guaranteed by a company controlled by the director
