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 3
- 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.
- 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 1
- Debtor days better than three quarters of your tradeYours is 11 against 29 for the middle of 76 comparable companies.

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.4–0.7× sales£20k£40k
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.
