The UK-registered arm of Capital Markets Elite Group, a broker providing access to equities and contracts for difference (CFDs) reported another loss in its latest financial year, but the gap narrowed sharply as revenue grew to more than £559,000 and costs moved lower. The figures show a business still in the red but moving toward a leaner and more efficient operating profile.The company generated turnover of £559,005 for the year ended 31 May 2025, up 11% from £502,699 a year earlier. This increase points to stronger activity in its execution services for US equities and contracts for difference.Cost of sales dropped to £199,250 from £264,514, which lifted gross profit to £359,755, compared with £238,185 in the prior year.Operating Loss Shrinks but Remains SignificantAdministrative expenses, which cover overheads such as staff and office costs, fell to £870,814 from £1,055,386. This reduction helped narrow the operating loss to £511,059, down from £817,201 in 2024.After booking £6,019 in interest receivable and a small interest charge in the previous year, the loss before tax stood at £505,040, versus £811,811 a year earlier. The company’s loss for the financial year matched this figure at £505,040, reflecting a material but still incomplete improvement in its bottom line.Capital Markets Elite Group (UK) Limited provides execution services for both unleveraged and margined US equities, as well as CFDs across several major financial instruments. It serves retail and institutional clients and earns fees for giving access to a mix of third-party and proprietary trading platforms.The business operates on an execution-only model, with fee income driven by trading activity and platform usage rather than advisory work. Cost Base and HeadcountThe accounts highlight a smaller team as part of the cost adjustment. The average number of employees fell to four in 2025 from six in 2024. A reduced headcount likely contributed to the £184,572 drop in administrative expenses and the £306,142 improvement in operating loss.The shift to a leaner structure indicates efforts to align ongoing costs with current revenue levels while still maintaining the infrastructure required to support equity and CFD execution.The move from an £811,811 loss to a £505,040 loss, alongside a rise in turnover of more than £56,000 and an increase in gross profit of over £121,000, illustrates gradual progress toward a more sustainable operation.
