What a buyer would ask 3

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.4–0.9× sales£18M£40M
The turnover range is fitted on UK companies that did file one. The multiple is a published sector average from Dutch mid-market deals, not from your own numbers and not from your own market. Treat this as the opening bracket of a conversation, not a valuation.
