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 4

  • The newest accounts on file are 32 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.
  • Stock days run high for your tradeYours is 100 against 35 for the middle of 212 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 5

  • 22 years of trading on fileLongevity is the cheapest evidence there is that the business is not one contract.
  • Headcount grew from 6 to 7Growth a buyer can verify without asking you for anything.
  • Sales per employee better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 412,714 against 84,100 for the middle of 485 comparable companies.
  • Debtor days better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 0 against 52 for the middle of 587 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
£1.2M
£2.6M

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.

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.

Tell us the rest

Your turnover is on file, but the things that set a price are not: margin, customer concentration, who would run it next. Tell us where you are and we will read it properly.

Goes to one inbox. No list, no sequence, and we will not pass it on. We buy companies as well as advise on them, so if yours is one we would be interested in, we will tell you that before anything else happens.
