What a buyer would ask 2

- 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
- 26 years of trading on fileLongevity is the cheapest evidence there is that the business is not one contract.
- Headcount grew from 61 to 70Growth a buyer can verify without asking you for anything.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.35–0.55× sales£8.8M£14M
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.
