    As reported · 27 Sept 2026

Valedo's current case study marks LAKRIDS BY BÜLOW as exited and says IDG acquired Valedo's and other shareholders' interests. The original August 2025 agreement describes a majority investment alongside management, with completion expected later in 2025. The subsequent exit record corroborates that the sale occurred; it does not establish the exact closing day, percentage or full vehicle chain. Valedo is not shown as a continuing investor. These are selected investor disclosures, not a complete beneficial-owner register. [3][4]

03 / The figures, with context

What does it report in UK tax?

UK cash corporation-tax research is outstanding. The UK entity scope, annual reporting period and cash amount have not been verified. Missing information does not mean £0; a group total, tax charge or franchisee payment is not substituted.

United KingdomAnnual period unverified

LAKRIDS BY BÜLOW · UK entity scope not yet verified
Annual reporting period not yet verified

The UK entities, reporting period and cash corporation-tax payment remain unverified. The cited sources concern the listing, corporate identity or ownership, rather than evidence of a UK-only cash payment. This is not a finding that no tax was paid or that the business does not disclose tax. [1][2]

These figures have different scopes. They should not be added together or used as a like-for-like tax ranking.
