Three ways to increase value before sale
- 1Move customers to Direct Debit before selling — buyers pay 15–20% more for rounds with high GoCardless mandate coverage. Even a 6-month push can shift the multiplier band.
- 2Round age is what it is — but document everything you can about customer history (start dates, payment reliability, complaints log) so buyers see the maturity even if the round is young.
- 3Cut churn before sale: chase late payers, finish the parting calls, and replace any customers you know are wobbling. A clean 3-month run of zero losses is what buyers want to see.
How we calculate it
UK window cleaning rounds are valued at a multiplier of monthly turnover — usually somewhere between 3× and 7×, with the multiplier determined by the quality of the round. A round that's been established for ten years, with 80% of customers on Direct Debit and a tight geographic cluster, is worth more than a round of the same size that was started two years ago, paid mostly in cash, and scattered across three towns. This calculator uses six factors common to UK round valuations to suggest a multiplier and a value range.
For a deeper dive into the buying and selling process, including how to do due diligence on a round you're thinking of buying, read our complete guide to buying and selling a window cleaning round. If you're evaluating which tools to run a round on, see our window cleaning software page for what UK round owners actually use.
The multipliers used here are based on prices we've seen in UK forums (windowcleaningforums.co.uk threads since 2020), broker listings, and conversations with our own customers. They're a guide, not a guarantee — actual sale prices depend on what a specific buyer is willing to pay. Use this as a starting point for negotiation, not a final number.
