What a buyer would ask 3
- The newest accounts on file are 39 months oldAnyone looking at the company today is reading a year that has already ended. Whatever has improved since is invisible.
- Headcount fell from 54 to 37A buyer sees the fall and not the reason. Deliberate tightening and losing people look identical on a filing.
- 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 1
- Stock days better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 3 against 37 for the middle of 50 comparable companies.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
1.5–4× sales£5.7M£15M
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.
