Each spread is companies in the same trade and size that did publish a turnover. Creditor days are shown but not marked: neither end of that one is plainly good.
What a buyer would ask 3
- The last accounts went in 12 months after year endThe allowance is nine. A buyer reads a late filing as a question about the finance function rather than about the trading.
- Headcount fell from 129 to 104A 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
- 36 years of trading on fileLongevity is the cheapest evidence there is that the business is not one contract.
- Stock days better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 12 against 45 for the middle of 225 comparable companies.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.4–0.9× sales£3.4M£7.5M
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.
