What a buyer would ask 3
- The last accounts went in 14 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.
- Stock days run high for your tradeYours is 519 against 91 for the middle of 91 comparable companies. That gap is working capital a buyer has to fund on day one, and it comes off the price.
- 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 1
- Sales per employee better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 2,829,100 against 48,867 for the middle of 205 comparable companies.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.2–0.45× sales£1.7M£3.8M
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.
