What a buyer would ask 3
- The newest accounts on file are 29 months oldAnyone looking at the company today is reading a year that has already ended. Whatever has improved since is invisible.
- Headcount fell from 43 to 31A 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 3

- Sales per employee better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 12,327,564 against 272,109 for the middle of 267 comparable companies.
- Debtor days better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 2 against 49 for the middle of 212 comparable companies.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.4–0.9× sales£153M£344M
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.
