General information

The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England. The registered office address is shown on page 1.

Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A Small Entities and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except where otherwise disclosed in these accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.

Summary of significant accounting policies

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.

Turnover

Turnover in the prior year represents net confirming commission, interest receivable and management charges from customers, excluding value added tax. Associated expenses such as bank charges, postage etc are also recovered from customers and included in turnover.

Commission income earned from confirming transactions is recognised when invoice is raised and credit is availed.

Interest receivable is recognised over the period of the agreed credit terms.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated at the rates ruling when they occurred unless the average rate for the period approximate to the actual rate, in which case the average rate is used. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Any differences are taken to profit or loss.

Tax

The tax expense for the year comprises current and where applicable, deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a charge attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

2

Accounting policies (continued)

Deferred tax is 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 suitable future taxable profits.

Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at historical cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and 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, evenly over their expected useful lives as follows:

Asset class

Depreciation rate and method

Furniture and fittings

15% reducing balance basis

Computer equipment

33.33% straight line basis

Motor vehicles

25% reducing balance basis

Cash at bank and in hand

This comprises cash at bank.

Financial instruments

Financial liabilities and equity are classified according to the substance of the financial instrument's contractual arrangements, rather than its legal form.
 
The company's cash at bank and in hand, trade and other debtors and trade and other creditors are measured initially at transaction price, and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, where appropriate.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services provided in the ordinary course of business.

A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is made when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Trade creditors

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 company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

The preference shares are treated as equity shares because they are redeemable at the option of the company at par value for an indefinite period. None of the contractual terms of the share capital meet the definition of a financial liability under FRS 102 and consequently have been treated as part of equity interests.
