Strategic Report for the Year Ended 30 April 2025

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 April 2025.

Principal activity

The principal activity of the company is The Company's principal activity is the provision of insurance broking and related advisory services to commercial and private clients throughout the United Kingdom. The Company acts as an intermediary between clients and insurers, arranging insurance solutions and providing professional advice and ongoing account management services.

Fair review of the business

The year under review represents the Company's first year of operation. During this period, the primary focus was on establishing the business, developing relationships with insurers and clients, implementing operational systems and compliance procedures, and generating a sustainable pipeline of business.

As expected for a new venture, the Company reported a loss for the year of £96,975. This result was in line with management expectations and reflects the initial investment required to establish the business, including regulatory, operational, marketing, and staffing costs incurred ahead of revenue generation.

Despite the reported loss, the Directors are encouraged by the progress made during the year. The Company successfully established a growing and diversified client portfolio, secured a number of key client accounts, and generated recurring commission income streams which are expected to contribute positively to future financial performance.

Client acquisition and retention levels have been ahead of the Directors' original forecasts, providing a strong foundation for the continued development of the business.

Key Achievements During the Year

During its first year of trading, the Company achieved several important strategic objectives:

• Successfully obtained and maintained all necessary regulatory and compliance requirements.
• Established relationships with a range of insurer partners and wholesale markets.
• Built a portfolio of clients across targeted market sectors.
• Implemented core operating, finance, and compliance systems.
• Developed a pipeline of recurring income through renewal business.
• Established a framework for sustainable future growth.

The Directors believe these achievements have created a solid platform from which the Company can expand during the coming financial year.

 

Sloane Private Clients Ltd

Strategic Report for the Year Ended 30 April 2025

Principal risks and uncertainties

As a newly established insurance brokerage, the Directors have identified the following principal risks facing the business:

Regulatory and Compliance Risk

The Company operates within the regulatory framework of the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA"). Failure to comply with regulatory requirements could result in financial penalties, reputational damage, or restrictions on trading.

The Directors remain committed to maintaining effective compliance systems and ensuring all regulatory obligations are met.

Growth and Development Risk

As an early-stage business, the Company is reliant on achieving sufficient levels of new business and client retention to support future profitability.
This risk is managed through active business development, investment in client relationships, and ongoing monitoring of performance against strategic objectives.

Market and Economic Risk

The insurance sector remains subject to economic pressures, market competition, and fluctuations in insurer appetite.

The Company seeks to mitigate these risks through diversification of its client base and insurer panel while maintaining high service standards.

Cyber and Data Security Risk

The Company manages sensitive client information and relies upon technology systems to support its operations.

Appropriate security controls, data protection procedures, and staff training are maintained to minimise cyber and operational risks.

Sloane Private Clients Ltd

Directors' Report for the Year Ended 30 April 2025

Future developments

The Directors are pleased with the progress achieved during the Company's first year of trading. While an operating loss was incurred during the period, this was anticipated as part of the Company's planned start-up and investment phase.

The growth in the Company's client base, together with increasing levels of recurring commission income and a strengthening pipeline of new business opportunities, provides confidence in the future prospects of the business.

Based on current trading performance and forecast revenue growth, the Directors expect the Company to achieve profitability during the next financial year.

The Company's strategic priorities for the coming year include:

• Continuing to grow the client portfolio and recurring revenue base.
• Maintaining high levels of client retention and service quality.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

 

Sloane Private Clients Ltd

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Sloane Private Clients Ltd

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Sloane Private Clients Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 30 April 2025, which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 30 April 2025 and of its loss for the year then ended;

have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

 

Sloane Private Clients Ltd

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Sloane Private Clients Ltd

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

the information given in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities [set out on page 6], the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

Sloane Private Clients Ltd

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Sloane Private Clients Ltd

Auditor Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion

Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of
irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

• the nature of the industry, control environment and understanding of the entity including, but not restricted to, the prevalence of fraud in the sector especially in the current uncertain economic
environment;
• results of our enquiries of directors about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
• any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the company’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:
• identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
• detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
• the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
• the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud;

As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in relation to revenue recognition and overstatement of expenditure. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.

 

Sloane Private Clients Ltd

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Sloane Private Clients Ltd

We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation.

Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:

• reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
• enquiring of directors concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
• performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
• tested a sample of income for understatement and other relevant audit procedures while consideration was given to revenue recognition;
• tested a sample of expenditure for overstatement and other relevant audit procedures;
• in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws
and regulations throughout the audit.

Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing fraud or non-compliance with law and regulations.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

 

Sloane Private Clients Ltd

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Sloane Private Clients Ltd

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose.

Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

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.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006'.

Basis of preparation

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

The financial statements are presented in sterling (£). These financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.

 

Sloane Private Clients Ltd

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2025

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

As at 30 April 2025, the Company had net liabilities. The Company is a member of a group of companies and is dependent upon the continued financial support of its parent company, DRVN Automotive Ltd, to meet its liabilities as they fall due.

The directors have reviewed the Company's forecasts and cash flow requirements for a period extending to at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Based on this review, the directors have concluded that the Company will continue to require financial support from its parent company during this period.

The parent company has confirmed its intention to provide such financial support as may be necessary to enable the Company to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.

Revenue recognition

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.

The company recognises revenue when:
The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity;
and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated into the respective functional currency of the entity at the rates prevailing on the reporting period date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate on the date when the fair value is re-measured.

Non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and on deposit.

Trade debtors

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

 

Sloane Private Clients Ltd

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2025

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable 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.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

Defined contribution pension obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Financial instruments

Classification
The company only have financial assets and liabilities of a kind that would qualify as basic financial instruments which are recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value
