What a buyer would ask 2
- Headcount fell from 8 to 6A 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 2
- Stock days better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 2 against 35 for the middle of 212 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
0.4–0.9× sales£80k£170k
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.
