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.
- A director resigned in the past yearA buyer will ask why, and will hear the answer from somewhere. Better from you.
- 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 29,869 against 20,820 for the middle of 169 comparable companies.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.4–0.9× sales£2.8M£6.2M
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.
