- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “Quai Administration Services Limited and its subsidiaries ("the Group") continued to make good progress during the year with ongoing recurring administration fees increasing to £5m, while total revenue increased to £6.5m for the Group. Assets under Administration ("AuA") increased to £2.9bn which, together with a strong pipeline of new business, provides a solid platform for further growth in fee income.”
- “The Group continues to make significant investment in developing its proprietary technology platform, extending the range of products and services it supports and further automating process flows while making integration with customers and their investors simpler, more cost effective and secure. At 31 December 2025 circa 470,000 investor accounts were supported by the platform, up from circa 260,000 at 31 December 2024.”
- “In August 2025, the company raised further share capital and converted its existing convertible loan notes into equity. The company also increased its existing loan with Salica to continue to fund its growth.”
- “Following the acquisition of Intelligent Money's book of business called Intelligent in May 2024, the acquisition has been successfully integrated into the existing business. The Group now operates across two sites, Peterborough and Nottingham.”
