What a buyer would ask 4
- The newest accounts on file are 32 months oldAnyone looking at the company today is reading a year that has already ended. Whatever has improved since is invisible.
- 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.
- Everyone on the board is over 60There is no one on the register a buyer can see taking the business on. That is a discount if it stays that way and a negotiating point if it changes.
- 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
- 37 years of trading on fileLongevity is the cheapest evidence there is that the business is not one contract.
- Headcount grew from 18 to 21Growth a buyer can verify without asking you for anything.
- Debtor days better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 26 against 51 for the middle of 92 comparable companies.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.4–0.9× sales£1.1M£2.6M
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.
