What a buyer would ask 3
- The newest accounts on file are 34 months oldAnyone looking at the company today is reading a year that has already ended. Whatever has improved since is invisible.

- 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.

- Headcount grew from 119 to 175Growth a buyer can verify without asking you for anything.
- Stock days better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 3 against 6 for the middle of 123 comparable companies.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.4–0.9× sales£3.1M£7.0M
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.
