- Stock days better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 59 against 177 for the middle of 144 comparable companies.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
3–8× sales£43M£116M
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.
