Filed, never estimated
Every revenue and profit figure comes from accounts filed at Companies House. If it wasn’t filed, we show a dash — not a guess.
“Not disclosed” is normal
Small and micro companies don’t have to publish a P&L. We say so plainly instead of hiding those companies or inventing numbers.
Signals are labelled
Balance-sheet trends and flags like “Capital-light” are clearly marked as indirect estimates, never presented as revenue or fact.
