What a buyer would ask 3
- The newest accounts on file are 44 months oldAnyone looking at the company today is reading a year that has already ended. Whatever has improved since is invisible.
- Everyone on the board is over 60There is no one on the register a buyer can see taking the business on. That is a discount if it stays that way and a negotiating point if it changes.
- 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 5
- 45 years of trading on fileLongevity is the cheapest evidence there is that the business is not one contract.
- Headcount grew from 35 to 61Growth a buyer can verify without asking you for anything.
- Sales per employee better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 366,343 against 29,799 for the middle of 46 comparable companies.
- Stock days better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 1 against 9 for the middle of 70 comparable companies.
- A board that has been together ten years or moreContinuity a buyer does not have to take on trust.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.4–0.9× sales£8.9M£20M
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.
