What a buyer would ask 5
- The newest accounts on file are 46 months oldAnyone looking at the company today is reading a year that has already ended. Whatever has improved since is invisible.
- One director on the registerA buyer's first question about a company run by one person is what happens to it if that person stops. It is usually the first thing priced.
- Debtor days run high for your tradeYours is 69 against 50 for the middle of 58 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 109 against 37 for the middle of 188 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
0.15–0.3× sales£150k£290k
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.
