What management said

The Board has refreshed its growth targets out to 2030: a loan book in excess of £1.5bn, cost-to-income ratio of 45-48%, a return on required equity of c.20%, and tangible net assets growing 10-15% per annum. The Board believes retained earnings can fund this growth without a dilutive Tier 1 capital raise, and intends to pay a maiden dividend following FY2028 full-year results, subject to regulatory approval.

After the year end

No subsequent events between 31 December 2025 and the date of approval of the report (20 March 2026) that would have a material impact on the Group's financial position

The dividend

No dividend was paid or proposed for 2025 (2024: £nil). The Board's stated intention is to pay a maiden dividend following the FY2028 full-year results, subject to regulatory approval, as the growth plan to 2030 is expected to be funded through retained earnings.

Going concern and the audit

Directors adopted the going concern basis, having assessed capital/liquidity forecasts and stress testing over at least 12 months from approval. Deloitte LLP issued an unqualified (true and fair) audit opinion on both group and parent company financial statements, with expected credit loss (ECL) provisioning identified as the sole key audit matter (similar risk level to prior year). Group materiality was £1.2m (1% of total equity).

  • Liquidity risk — managed via ALCo, daily liquidity reporting, Early Warning Indicators and a Liquidity Contingency Plan; Liquidity Coverage Ratio was 693% at period endp.18
  • Interest rate / market risk — exposure to fluctuations in net interest margin and economic value of equity from rate movements; partially hedged via interest rate swapsp.175
