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
- The last accounts went in 11 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.
- Debtor days run high for your tradeYours is 44 against 21 for the middle of 126 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.
What a buyer would like 2
- 40 years of trading on fileLongevity is the cheapest evidence there is that the business is not one contract.
- Headcount grew from 189 to 209Growth a buyer can verify without asking you for anything.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.4–0.9× sales£4.1M£9.2M
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.
