You file abbreviated accounts, as almost every company your size does, so the profit and loss account is not on public record. That band is what your balance sheet implies to anyone who looks: 3 figures against 212 companies in the same sector and size. An opening offer is built on the bottom of it.

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 4

  • Your turnover is not on fileYou file abbreviated accounts, as most companies your size do, so a buyer cannot see what the business turns over and has to estimate it. Working only from what you filed, the range lands between £263k and £1.7M. An opening offer is built on the low end of whatever they guess.
  • One director on the registerA buyer's first question about a company run by one person is what happens to it if that person stops. It is usually the first thing priced.
  • Headcount fell from 19 to 16A 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 1

  • 20 years of trading on fileLongevity is the cheapest evidence there is that the business is not one contract.

Prepared by Qapital from public records, against 105,750 companies that did publish a turnover. No figure here was supplied by the company and none of it is advice. What it is missing is everything that actually sets a price: profitability, contracts, customer concentration, and whoever would run it next.
