What a buyer would ask 4
- The newest accounts on file are 32 months oldAnyone looking at the company today is reading a year that has already ended. Whatever has improved since is invisible.
- A director resigned in the past yearA buyer will ask why, and will hear the answer from somewhere. Better from you.
- Stock days run high for your tradeYours is 34 against 15 for the middle of 86 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 1
- Headcount grew from 89 to 106Growth a buyer can verify without asking you for anything.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.4–0.7× sales£560k£980k
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.
