What a buyer would ask 3
- Headcount fell from 25 to 22A buyer sees the fall and not the reason. Deliberate tightening and losing people look identical on a filing.
- Stock days run high for your tradeYours is 39 against 22 for the middle of 59 comparable companies. That gap is working capital a buyer has to fund on day one, and it comes off the price.
- No website on file against the companyThe first thing anyone does with a company number is look for the business behind it. Finding nothing is its own answer.
What a buyer would like 2
- Debtor days better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 28 against 40 for the middle of 43 comparable companies.
- A board that has been together ten years or moreContinuity a buyer does not have to take on trust.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.4–0.7× sales£6.1M£11M
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.
