About these figures
Turnover
Money taken from sales in the year, before any costs.
Profit before tax
What was left after the year’s costs, before corporation tax. A minus figure is a loss.

Everything the company owns minus everything it owes. A minus figure means it owes more than it owns.
Total assets and total liabilities

Cash at bank

Owed within a year, owed after a year

Accounts filed at Companies House for company 12369759. Every figure is as filed, apart from total assets and total liabilities, which are added up from filed figures. Nothing is estimated.
