Nobody can see what you turn over, including us

unknowable

We size companies from the rest of the balance sheet. For this one, what you have filed does not narrow it to anything worth quoting, and we would rather say so than put a number here. That is the position every buyer looking at you is in, and they price uncertainty rather than ask about it.

Each spread is companies in the same trade and size that did publish a turnover. Creditor days are shown but not marked: neither end of that one is plainly good.

What a buyer would ask 3

  • Your turnover is not on fileYou file abbreviated accounts, as most companies your size do, so a buyer cannot see what the business turns over and has to estimate it. An opening offer is built on the low end of whatever they guess.
  • The newest accounts on file are 31 months oldAnyone looking at the company today is reading a year that has already ended. Whatever has improved since is invisible.
  • 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 1

  • Headcount grew from 10 to 13Growth a buyer can verify without asking you for anything.

Prepared by Qapital from public records, against 105,750 companies that did publish a turnover. No figure here was supplied by the company and none of it is advice. What it is missing is everything that actually sets a price: profitability, contracts, customer concentration, and whoever would run it next.

Close the gap

The range above exists because your turnover is not on public record. Tell us what it actually is and we will place you exactly against your trade, and send it back.

Goes to one inbox. No list, no sequence, and we will not pass it on. We buy companies as well as advise on them, so if yours is one we would be interested in, we will tell you that before anything else happens.
