What a buyer would ask 2
- Headcount fell from 305 to 128A 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 2

- Sales per employee better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 885,103 against 228,918 for the middle of 53 comparable companies.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.15–0.3× sales£17M£34M
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.
