Directors' responsibilities:
The financial statements of Vable Ltd (registered number:
|
Matthew Dickinson
Director |
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the financial year and to the preceding financial year, unless otherwise stated.
Vable Ltd (the Company) is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the Company's registered office is 86-90 Paul Street, London, EC2A 4NE, United Kingdom.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value, and in accordance with ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council, including Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS102), and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
The functional currency of Vable Ltd is considered to be pounds sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.
These financial statements are separate financial statements.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the company will continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months from the signing of these statements.
**Business Model and Cash Position**
The company operates a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription business model. Customers typically pay annually in advance for access to the company's technology platform and services. This business model provides:
● Strong forward visibility of revenue
● Positive operating cash flow dynamics
● Natural working capital benefits from advance billing
Despite reporting net liabilities of £583,106 (2024: £449,588) and a loss for the year of £133,518 (2024: £216,023), the company held cash balances of £483,369 at the year end. The net liability position primarily reflects the timing difference between cash collection (received in advance) and revenue recognition (recognised over the service period).
**Forward-Looking Assessment**
The directors have prepared detailed cash flow forecasts. These forecasts are based on:
1. **Contracted and Highly Predictable Revenue**
○ Existing customer base with historically high retention rates (typically >90%)
○ Expected organic growth of at least 5% from existing customers
○ Deferred income of £1.25m providing revenue visibility for FY2026
2. **Controlled Cost Base**
○ Total operating expenses of £2.02m are predominantly variable or discretionary
○ Ability to flex investment in sales, marketing, and contractor resources based on performance
○ No significant capital commitments
3. **Growth Investment Strategy**
○ Planned investment in new client acquisition capabilities
○ Product development and enhancement initiatives
○ All funded from operating cash flow with controllable timing
The forecasts demonstrate that the company has sufficient cash resources and working capital to meet its liabilities as they fall due throughout the forecast period, with headroom for planned growth investments.
**Key Assumptions and Sensitivities**
The directors have considered downside scenarios including:
● Lower than expected customer retention rates
● Delayed new customer acquisition
● Potential pressure on renewal pricing
Even under conservative assumptions, the forecasts show the company maintaining adequate liquidity, with the flexibility to reduce discretionary expenditure if required.
**Conclusion**
Based on the above factors, and having made appropriate enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months from the signing of these statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Exchange differences are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account in the period in which they arise on monetary items.
Defined contribution schemes
The Company operates a defined contribution scheme. The amount charged to the Profit and Loss Account in respect of pension costs and other post-retirement benefits is the contributions payable in the financial year. Differences between contributions payable in the financial year and contributions actually paid are included as either accruals or prepayments in the Balance Sheet.
Finance costs are charged to the Profit and Loss Account over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount.
Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recoverable) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the Company's financial statements. Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation to pay more or less tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
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. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.
Assets held under finance leases, hire purchase contracts and other similar arrangements, which confer rights and obligations similar to those attached to owned assets, are capitalised as tangible fixed assets at the fair value of the leased asset (or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments as determined at the inception of the lease) and are depreciated over the shorter of the lease terms and their useful lives. The capital elements of future lease obligations are recorded as liabilities, while the interest elements are charged to the Profit and Loss Account over the period of the leases to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Rentals under operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the lease term, even if the payments are not made on such a basis. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are similarly spread on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
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.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the Balance Sheet when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
