Turnover
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales-related taxes.The company derives revenue from two principal streams: transactional and subscription revenue. Revenue derived from lead and SMS purchases is transactional income and meets the revenue recognition criteria at the time of purchase. Subscription revenue is amortised over the subscription length and entitles tradespeople to leads on the platform. Subject to subscription type, any purchases over their subscription entitlement are purchased with cash, which is recognised as transactional revenue on successful purchase of the lead.
