However, The Sun can reveal that the production firm has racked up a six figure debt.
Figures uploaded to Companies House this week show the firm is £22,850 in the red for 2024 - following a £18,000 surplus last year.
Annual accounts show the GB News host has creditors of almost £150,000 to pay.
In addition, he also had a Corporation Tax rebate of £39,173 paid by HMRC.
Eamonn has assets that make up some of the shortfall, which is why the firm is £20k+ in the red once that's taken into account.
The Sun has approached Eamonn's rep for comment.
The former This Morning host – who split from wife Ruth Langsford a year ago – continues to work despite a worsening health condition.
The 65-year-old has been experiencing ongoing health issues, including chronic back pain - which he's attributed to slipped discs and a 2022 spinal surgery.
Eamonn has also spoken about difficulties walking and reliance on a walking frame or wheelchair.
He's also struggled with shingles and has talked about experiencing difficulty seeing, even with his reading glasses.

"Sometimes I feel I'll never beat this disc immobility but I'm determined to have a life.
'So pray for me, help me or get out of the way social media haters.'
He is now in a relationship with Yorkshire counsellor Katie Alexander, 43.

1997-2002 - To be respectful to Gabrielle, the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight. Ruth told Daily Mail: "I thought it spoke volumes about the sort of man he was, the sort of father he was and the integrity he had. It made me love him more, not less."

2016 - Eamonn undergoes a double hip replacement in the first of many health battles.
June 2019 - On This Morning, Ruth and Eamonn say the secret to their happy marriage. Eamonn credits "compromise, consideration and lots of conjugal," while Ruth said it was "laughter and an equal marriage".
November 2020 - Ruth and Eamonn are replaced on their regular Friday slot by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary in a 'show shake-up'.
December 2021 - After a year of being moved to the bank holiday presenting slot, both Eamonn and Ruth left This Morning.
January 2022 - Eamonn debuted on GB News, while Ruth stayed with ITV in her long-standing role on Loose Women.
September 2022 - Eamonn undergoes spinal surgery after years of back issues including a trapped sciatic nerve.
November 2022 - Eamonn falls down the stairs of his Surrey home with Ruth and breaks his shoulder, requiring a new operation.
September 2023 - Eamonn has a spine and neck stretching procedure as part of his year-long recovery.
May 2024 - Ruth and Eamonn announce they have split after 14 years of marriage and a 27-year relationship.
September 2024 - Eamonn was spotted on a luxury holiday in Barcelona with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Ruth calls in a 'fierce' divorce lawyer.
Eamonn and Ruth announced their split in May 2024 after 14 years of marriage.
A spokesperson told fans about their split in a short but sweet statement.
It read: 'Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.'
The pair hadn't been seen together for over two years, last appearing alongside one another in a skit on Instagram.

A journalist asked the world No61: "Some of the gossip has been about who Emma Raducanu is dating. "Can I ask if you are dating her? Can we get to the bottom of this please?" A perplexed Norrie replied: "Sorry?" The reporter then responded: "I am trying to find out who is dating Emma Raducanu. "It seems to be going around all the men's singles... I was wondering if you're dating her, please?" A clearly uncomfortable Norrie then said: "I'm not, no. You can ask her. I don't know." The 2022 Wimbledon semi-finalist is in a relationship with Louise Jacobi. Norrie reportedly met the New York-born textiles designer five years ago. Raducanu, who was defeated by world No1 Aryna Sabalenka last night, has played down her relationship with Alcaraz and claimed they are just good friends. Emma Raducanu giggles as she addresses Carlos Alcaraz relationship ahead of Wimbledon It comes after a source exclusively revealed to SunSport that the pair had a "spark" and arrived at the Queen's tournament last month within minutes of each other amid suggestions of spending cosy days together. On her bond with Alcaraz, Raducanu said: "I've known him for years. "Wimbledon 2021 was the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the US Open in 2021. "We have a good relationship still. He's obviously overtaken me a lot, but it's nice that we have that from a while ago. "I think for all of us, we really kind of value those connections that we had from when we were young because when you become a bit more known or a bit more successful, you just find yourself reverting back to people you knew from a young age because you're like, that's a real genuine connection. "Because it becomes very busy and you have a lot more friends but the ones that you've known for a long time mean a lot more to you." 4

Mel B was seen on the phone just hours before walking down the aisle to partner Rory McPhee as it has been claimed three Spice Girls decided to not attend the nuptials With just hours left until Spice Girl Melanie Brown walks down the aisle to marry Rory McPhee, she could be forgiven for wanting to hide away to calm her nerves.

The star, who is globally known as Scary Spice, was pictured wearing a baseball cap, dark sunglasses and a white sleeveless top, showing off her toned midriff. And without fail, the star opted for a pair of leopard print trousers with a draw string waist, as she stood outside her London hotel. The couple are set to tie the knot at St Paul's Cathedral following a three year engagement. The pair had known each other for many years but their once platonic relationship turned romantic in 2022. Leaving no stone unturned, Mel appears to have ticked off every luxury box as guests will also enjoy the wedding reception at the elite Shangri-La at The Shard in London. This comes after The Mirror revealed that three Spice Girls won't be attending her big day.
