What this means for you
These projections are illustrative estimates based on the figures you provided and typical UK mid-market acquisition multiples for your sector. They should not be treated as financial advice or a formal valuation. Actual multiples, growth rates, and deal outcomes will vary. If you selected a non-UK country, multiples used are UK mid-market benchmarks and may not reflect your local market. Talk to Mike before making any acquisition decisions.
These numbers suggest acquisition is worth exploring seriously.
A 45-minute call with Mike will tell you whether the timing is right and what the right targets look like.
