- 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 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
- “Throughout 2025, YB Fixings Ltd has remained steadfast in its commitment to supplying the highest quality fastening solutions. The past year saw the company navigate a gradually stabilising construction market, with modest but encouraging revenue growth that marks a reversal from the industry-wide setbacks experienced in 2024.”
- “Our strategic vision for 2025 has focused on several core objectives: expanding our market presence within the UK Construction sector, diversifying into the flooring sector, investing in the research and development of innovative products, and continually enhancing customer satisfaction.”
- “The positive reception of our YB FLOOR MASTER® division has underscored the potential for diversification and growth within new market segments. We continue to explore emerging opportunities, ensuring the business remains agile and responsive to change.”
- “In 2025, the UK construction industry faced significant challenges due to global geopolitical tensions. Trade disputes and tariffs disrupted supply chains for essential materials, increasing costs and causing uncertainty for contractors.”
