What a buyer would ask 3
- A director resigned in the past yearA buyer will ask why, and will hear the answer from somewhere. Better from you.
- Debtor days run high for your tradeYours is 63 against 35 for the middle of 113 comparable companies. That gap is working capital a buyer has to fund on day one, and it comes off the price.
- 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

A rough bracket, and why it is only that
0.4–0.9× sales£2.5M£5.7M
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.
