- Stock days run high for your tradeYours is 54 against 23 for the middle of 43 comparable companies. That gap is working capital a buyer has to fund on day one, and it comes off the price.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.4–0.9× sales£6.1M£14M
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.
