It’s Appfleet that have just filed accounts. (edit: and to reply to the person saying about numbers - turnover numbers stated are the payment processing fees, not the amounts actually transacted - see note 5 in the accounts)

Good call: that's (effectively) last year's though, so it's possible things were better this year (although doesn't look good - and doesn't seem to match numbers OP was stating).

Edit: actually, maybe not: the doc mentions March 2021 and Oct 2021 funding...

Those numbers look ok (ish)

Staff costs are roughly £900,000 of the £1.2M loss and they received investment of £5.5M

These are for year two of their business so they’re not huge losses for a venture backed business and suspect they could have sustained the same level of loss year to Dec 31 2021

I tend prefer bootstrapped businesses but these accounts don’t look too bad
