Nobody can see what you turn over

You file abbreviated accounts, as almost every company your size does, so the profit and loss account is not on public record. That band is what your balance sheet implies to anyone who looks: 4 figures against 93 companies in the same trade. An opening offer is built on the bottom of it.

What a buyer would ask 2

  • 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. Working only from what you filed, the range lands between £171k and £1.1M. An opening offer is built on the low end of whatever they guess.
  • 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

  • 21 years of trading on fileLongevity is the cheapest evidence there is that the business is not one contract.
  • Headcount grew from 15 to 22Growth 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.
