How can I estimate the turnover of an SME business?

One way to calculate an estimate turnover when turnover is not listed is by using the Trade Debtor figure. Most "trade debtors" pay (on average) every 50-70 days (industry dependent).


So, for an estimation of turnover for a company that does not file full accounts you could look at the below calculation:Trade Debtors ÷ 50 (average sales per day) × 365


E.g. a company is reporting £500,000 in trade debtors:500,000 ÷ 50 (average sales per day) × 365 = 3,650,00.00


Estimated Turnover = £3,650,000.00
