A rough bracket, and why it is only that

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.

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.

Tell us the rest

Your turnover is on file, but the things that set a price are not: margin, customer concentration, who would run it next. Tell us where you are and we will read it properly.

Goes to one inbox. No list, no sequence, and we will not pass it on. We buy companies as well as advise on them, so if yours is one we would be interested in, we will tell you that before anything else happens.
