NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
Bespoke Bridging Finance Limited (Company number: 02282358), having its registered office at 1st Floor Sackville House, 143-149 Fenchurch Street, London, EC3M 6BN, is a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales.
The Company's principal place of business is 50 London House, 7-9 Avenue Road, St Johns Wood, NW8 7PX.
2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
|
|
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard 102, Section 1A.7 from the requirement to provide a Statement of Cash Flows on the grounds that it is a small company.
At the year end, the Company had net assets of £27,167 (2023: £125,893 net liabilities). Included within amounts owed to group undertakings at the balance sheet date was £190,324 (2023: £394,766) due to a wholly owned subsidiary company.
The company has control over the subsidiary, and the Director of the company has confirmed that the subsidiary will not seek repayment of this loan for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these accounts, unless sufficient funds are available such that doing so will not compromise the going concern position of the company.
The Company should, therefore, be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due for payment. As with any company placing reliance on other entities for financial support, the director acknowledges that there can be no certainty that this support will continue, although at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so.
On this basis, the director believes that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the going concern basis of preparation being inappropriate.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before turnover is recognised:
Rendering of services
Turnover from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙the amount of turnover can be measured reliably;
∙it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
∙the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
∙the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.
Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings using the effective interest method.
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
|
|
|
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties and loans to related parties.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the Balance Sheet date.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price.
All borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the year in which they are incurred.

CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXATION
|
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.
The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date in the United Kingdom where the Company operates and generates income.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date.

The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 3 (2023 - 3).
