What a buyer would ask 3
- The newest accounts on file are 56 months oldAnyone looking at the company today is reading a year that has already ended. Whatever has improved since is invisible.
- A director resigned in the past yearA buyer will ask why, and will hear the answer from somewhere. Better from you.
- 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.

- Sales per employee better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 844,496 against 151,784 for the middle of 348 comparable companies.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.4–0.9× sales£25M£57M
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.
