What a buyer would ask 5
- The last accounts went in 20 months after year endThe allowance is nine. A buyer reads a late filing as a question about the finance function rather than about the trading.
- The newest accounts on file are 21 months oldAnyone looking at the company today is reading a year that has already ended. Whatever has improved since is invisible.
- Debtor days run high for your tradeYours is 106 against 53 for the middle of 459 comparable companies. That gap is working capital a buyer has to fund on day one, and it comes off the price.
- Stock days run high for your tradeYours is 31 against 10 for the middle of 80 comparable companies. That gap is working capital a buyer has to fund on day one, and it comes off the price.
- 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.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.4–0.9× sales£14M£32M
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.
