Executive summary
What More UK Limited reports a solvent and profitable position, with net assets of £36.98 million, turnover of £78.0 million, and an unqualified audit opinion supporting the going concern basis. Cash reserves, however, fell sharply from £540,763 to £26,857 during 2025, and the company finances working capital through invoice discounting and bank borrowings. The overall risk profile is moderate, with liquidity management requiring closer investor scrutiny despite strong underlying earnings and asset backing.
