Nobody can see what you turn over

You file abbreviated accounts, as almost every company your size does, so the profit and loss account is not on public record. That band is what your balance sheet implies to anyone who looks: 1 figure against 31 companies in the same trade and size. An opening offer is built on the bottom of it.

What a buyer would ask 3

  • Your turnover is not on fileYou file abbreviated accounts, as most companies your size do, so a buyer cannot see what the business turns over and has to estimate it. Working only from what you filed, the range lands between £68k and £696k. An opening offer is built on the low end of whatever they guess.
  • 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.
  • 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

  • Headcount grew from 11 to 15Growth a buyer can verify without asking you for anything.
  • A board that has been together ten years or moreContinuity a buyer does not have to take on trust.

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.
