Key figures

Revenue not disclosed

Coloured Bottles Limited’s accounts for the year to 31 Dec 2024 contain a balance sheet but no profit & loss account, so its revenue and profit are not public. UK small and micro-entity companies are not required to publish a P&L — this is normal and says nothing about how the business is performing.

We never estimate revenue. Below you’ll find the balance-sheet figures that were filed — useful as indirect signals of momentum, but they are not revenue or profit.

Indirect — not revenue

Balance-sheet signals

Year-on-year changes in filed balance-sheet items. They can hint at momentum (or investment) but are not revenue or profit and must not be read as such.

Cash at bank: ▼36%; Now £44.4k
Headcount: ▼44%; Now 18
Deferred income: ▲0%; Now £42.1k
Fixed assets: ▼11%; Now £981k

Deferred income is reported together with accruals in this filing (“accruals and deferred income”), so it is an approximate signal only.
