What a buyer would like 1

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.2–0.45× sales£5.0M£11M
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.
