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 newest accounts on file are 30 months oldAnyone looking at the company today is reading a year that has already ended. Whatever has improved since is invisible.
- One director on the registerA buyer's first question about a company run by one person is what happens to it if that person stops. It is usually the first thing priced.
- A director resigned in the past yearA buyer will ask why, and will hear the answer from somewhere. Better from you.
- 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£910k£1.4M
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.
