What a buyer would ask 3
- The last accounts went in 11 months after year endThe allowance is nine. A buyer reads a late filing as a question about the finance function rather than about the trading.
- Debtor days run high for your tradeYours is 65 against 39 for the middle of 37 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.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.35–0.55× sales£5.3M£8.3M
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.
