IronFX’s FCA-authorised UK entity saw revenue from Cyprus affiliate Notesco Financial Services rise about 53%.
Recently, IronFX laid off about 150 employees, roughly 10% of its 1,500-strong workforce.
Notesco UK posted a double‑digit
improvement in 2025 as revenue rose 51% year‑on‑year and profit after tax
increased 37%. This was supported by higher fees from group entities despite a sharp
jump in legal and professional expenses.
Revenue for the year ended 31 December 2025 climbed to 2.19
million dollars from 1.44 million dollars in 2024, while profit after tax
advanced to 171,000 dollars from 125,000 dollars. Operating profit grew 37% to
224,914 dollars, up from 163,119 dollars a year earlier.
Notesco UK is a London‑based, FCA‑authorised
investment firm that operates the IronFX brokerage brand in the United Kingdom
and provides financial management and matched‑principal brokerage services
within the wider IronFX/Notesco group.
The brokerage generates its income mainly from service‑level
agreements with its wider group. Management fee revenue from Cyprus‑based
affiliate Notesco Financial Services Ltd rose to 2,048,814 dollars in 2025 from
1,331,768 dollars in 2024, an increase of about 53%.
Total revenue increased 743,748 dollars to 2,185,059
dollars, compared with 1,441,311 dollars a year earlier.

Administrative expenses also moved higher, up 53% to
1,960,145 dollars from 1,278,192 dollars. Legal and professional fees more than
doubled, rising 127% to 1,363,071 dollars from 598,638 dollars, and remained
the largest cost component. The tax charge increased 39% to 53,919 dollars from
38,594 dollars, in line with the higher profit base and the 25% UK rate.
Balance Sheet and Cash Movements
Net assets grew 5.5% to 3,277,115 dollars at year‑end
2025 from 3,106,120 dollars a year earlier, reflecting retained earnings as no
dividends were paid.
Trade and other receivables increased 22% to 2,259,179
dollars from 1,845,807 dollars, driven mainly by intra‑group
balances; amounts due from related parties reached 2,167,549 dollars. Cash and
cash equivalents fell 4% to 1,695,861 dollars from 1,768,308 dollars despite
the stronger profit.
Trade and other payables rose 31% to 632,293 dollars from
479,688 dollars, as accruals increased to 461,748 dollars from 170,098 dollars.
The company reported no external borrowings and carried a deferred tax asset of
7,288 dollars, down slightly from 8,287 dollars.
Net cash outflow from operating activities narrowed sharply
to 72,447 dollars in 2025 from 1,001,392 dollars in 2024, as working‑capital
movements were less negative than in the prior year.
