In its business overview statement, the company mentioned
that its UK business has been affected by the cost-of-living crisis, which has impacted client numbers and trading volumes. Nonetheless, the company is
projecting a positive outlook in revenue and cost reduction.

“The UK business continued to suffer due to the cost of
living crisis, both in terms of client numbers and trades, the statement read.
“The directors are hopeful that revenues will increase in 2024, and
together with a reduction in overhead costs, a return to profit will be
possible.”
