Silverfin false false 31/03/2026 01/04/2025 31/03/2026 Mr Robert Hamill 13/12/1991 Mr Donald Porter 13/12/1991 04 August 2026 The principal activity of the company is in the areas of Customer Insight, Employee Engagement, Leadership Development, Culture Change and Performance Management.
The firm specialises in fostering Organisational Change and People Development with international blue-chip clients in sectors including Travel and Tourism, Telecommunications, Transportation, Financial Services, Professional Services, Leisure and Hospitality, Retail, Healthcare and Charities.
Consistent with previous reports, a key strength of the firm is its long-standing and loyal client base and the strength of the Directors’ networks. These relationships have proved to be invaluable in continuing to rebuild the firm following the Covid Pandemic.
As at the signing of this Directors' report, the Directors are very pleased to report that the firm’s Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan (CIBL) for £200,000 has now been repaid in full to Lloyds Bank.
MSB continues to work with one of the largest international airline groups in the world in the areas of Leadership Development, Culture Change and Business Transformation. We anticipate this important work with our client to continue into 2028.
The Directors report a Gross Profit for the year of £249,202 and a Net Loss of £115,941. This loss can be explained by the more cautious approach adopted by our airline client as a result of the disruption in the Middle East.
The company continued to pursue strategic relationships with complementary service providers in advertising, public affairs and government relations to harness the combined strengths which these like-minded professional service providers can bring to clients and to their brands.
Client feedback and recommendation about MSB’s services continues to be very positive. The 38-year reputation which the firm has developed with its highly valued UK and international blue-chip clients remains very strong. The Directors remain positive about the company’s outlook – a view that is reinforced by our clients, colleagues and associates alike.
As always, the firm’s Directors are delighted to enjoy the support of a first-class team of colleagues and associates. 02203362 2026-03-31 02203362 bus:Director1 2026-03-31 02203362 bus:Director2 2026-03-31 02203362 2025-03-31 02203362 core:CurrentFinancialInstruments 2026-03-31 02203362 core:CurrentFinancialInstruments 2025-03-31 02203362 core:Non-currentFinancialInstruments 2026-03-31 02203362 core:Non-currentFinancialInstruments 2025-03-31 02203362 core:ShareCapital 2026-03-31 02203362 core:ShareCapital 2025-03-31 02203362 core:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2026-03-31 02203362 core:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2025-03-31 02203362 core:OtherPropertyPlantEquipment 2025-03-31 02203362 core:OtherPropertyPlantEquipment 2026-03-31 02203362 core:CostValuation 2025-03-31 02203362 core:CostValuation 2026-03-31 02203362 bus:OrdinaryShareClass1 2026-03-31 02203362 bus:OrdinaryShareClass2 2026-03-31 02203362 bus:OrdinaryShareClass3 2026-03-31 02203362 2025-04-01 2026-03-31 02203362 bus:FilletedAccounts 2025-04-01 2026-03-31 02203362 bus:SmallEntities 2025-04-01 2026-03-31 02203362 bus:AuditExemptWithAccountantsReport 2025-04-01 2026-03-31 02203362 bus:PrivateLimitedCompanyLtd 2025-04-01 2026-03-31 02203362 bus:Director1 2025-04-01 2026-03-31 02203362 bus:Director2 2025-04-01 2026-03-31 02203362 core:OtherPropertyPlantEquipment core:TopRangeValue 2025-04-01 2026-03-31 02203362 core:OtherPropertyPlantEquipment 2025-04-01 2026-03-31 02203362 2024-04-01 2025-03-31 02203362 core:Non-currentFinancialInstruments 2025-04-01 2026-03-31 02203362 bus:OrdinaryShareClass1 2025-04-01 2026-03-31 02203362 bus:OrdinaryShareClass1 2024-04-01 2025-03-31 02203362 bus:OrdinaryShareClass2 2025-04-01 2026-03-31 02203362 bus:OrdinaryShareClass2 2024-04-01 2025-03-31 02203362 bus:OrdinaryShareClass3 2025-04-01 2026-03-31 02203362 bus:OrdinaryShareClass3 2024-04-01 2025-03-31 iso4217:GBP xbrli:pure xbrli:shares

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
MANAGING THE SERVICE BUSINESS LIMITED

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026

##### 1. Accounting policies

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.

##### General information and basis of accounting

Managing the Service Business Limited (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 Winslow House Ashurst Park, Church Lane Sunninghill, Ascot, SL5 7ED, 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 Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the Company and rounded to the nearest £.

##### Going concern

The directors have assessed the Balance Sheet and likely future cash flows at the date of approving these financial statements. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

##### Turnover

Turnover is stated net of VAT and trade discounts and is recognised when the significant risks and rewards are considered to have been transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the supply of services represents the value of services provided under contracts to the extent that there is a right to consideration and is recorded at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Where a contract has only been partially completed at the Balance Sheet date turnover represents the fair value of the service provided to date based on the stage of completion of the contract activity at the Balance Sheet date. Where payments are received from customers in advance of services provided, the amounts are recorded as deferred income and included as part of creditors due within one year.

##### Employee benefits

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.

##### Taxation

Current tax
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

##### Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than investment property and freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a straight-line or reducing balance basis over its expected useful life, as follows:

Plant and machinery etc. | 4 years straight line
| 15 % reducing balance

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The selection of these residual values and estimated lives requires the exercise of judgement. The directors are required to assess whether there is an indication of impairment to the carrying value of assets. In making that assessment, judgements are made in estimating value in use. The directors consider that the individual carrying values of assets are supportable by their value in use.
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.

##### Leases

The Company as lessee
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 instruments

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.
