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 Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The directors, having made due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that the company has adequate working capital to execute its operations over at least the next 12 months from the date of approval of the accounts.
The directors acknowledge that the ability of the business to operate as a going concern relies upon the ongoing renewal of Binding Authority arrangements. In this regard, two Binding Authority agreements are currently active, with expiry dates of 28 February 2031 and 29 February 2028.
Having reviewed these arrangements, together with the company’s financial forecasts and risk assessments, the directors are satisfied that there is a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The directors continue to apply ongoing, regular review and assessment in the ordinary course of business. Having taken into account all of the above considerations, the financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, stated net of discounts.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company has Binding Authority Agreements in force from Lloyd's of London and the International Underwriting Association of London, which empower the Company to bind risks, issue policies, collect premiums and investigate and settle claims.
The income recognised in the accounts from the premiums collected represents the commission the Company is entitled to in that period.
The assets at the balance sheet date reflect those under the control of the Company and do not include any element held as agent for others. Liabilities reflect amounts owing to third parties by the Company excluding amounts payable as agent on behalf of third parties.
With regard to the Binding Authority Agreement in force from Lloyd’s of London, where claims are made by policy holders the Company makes payment as appropriate to them on behalf of the insurer and deducts these payments when amounts collected as agent for the insurer are remitted to them. At the balance sheet date the amounts paid for claims which have not yet been deducted are included in trade debtors.
Defined contribution pension plan
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.
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.
At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Tangible fixed assets (continued)
|
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 profit or loss.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, 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.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Basic financial liabilities
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 the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially

recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. Details of these judgements are set out in the accounting policies.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The estimates and assumptions which have a heightened risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows:
Valuation of performance related accrued income
At each reporting date, the directors assess the level of any performance related income arising on the binding authority arrangements to recognise in the financial statements within the appropriate accounting period. This assessment includes liaison with underwriters and an assessment of post year end receipts, where available.
|
|
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 24 (2024 - 24).
