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 register shows an owner past retirement age and little elseWithout directors on file, a buyer cannot tell who actually runs the business day to day.
- Headcount fell from 2 to 1A buyer sees the fall and not the reason. Deliberate tightening and losing people look identical on a filing.
- Debtor days run high for your tradeYours is 111 against 50 for the middle of 38 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 2
- 20 years of trading on fileLongevity is the cheapest evidence there is that the business is not one contract.
- Stock days better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 3 against 81 for the middle of 36 comparable companies.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.35–0.55× sales£40k£70k
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.
