- Debtor days better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 32 against 62 for the middle of 87 comparable companies.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
1–3× sales£22M£66M
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.
