- 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.

- Debtor days better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 24 against 54 for the middle of 223 comparable companies.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.4–0.9× sales£3.0M£6.7M
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.
