  • Companies House lists the latest accounts, made up to 31 March 2025, as dormant accounts: the company had no significant transactions in the year. A dormant company's balance sheet often shows only its share capital. Earlier years may also have been dormant; see the filing history at Companies House (opens in a new tab).
  • Absent is not zero. A figure shown as Not reported was not given in the accounts we hold. Small and micro companies do not have to file a profit and loss account, so turnover and profit are usually absent for them.
  • Accounts for years ending in 2025 and 2026 are still being filed, so the newest years may be missing.
  • Employees, cash and net assets are shown as Not shown when the filed figure is not possible (for example a negative headcount or negative cash).
Definitions
Total assets less current liabilities
Fixed assets plus current assets, minus what the company owes within a year. It is not total assets: cash can be larger than this figure when the company owes a lot in the short term. Where a filing does not give it, the table marks the fixed-assets figure used instead.
Net assets
What the company owns minus everything it owes. Also called shareholders' funds.
Turnover
Sales for the year. Only larger companies report it.
Accounts
The accounting framework named in the filing (for example FRS 102). Not stated means the filing does not say.
