Business Valuation Services

An independent assessment of what your business is worth, supported by financial analysis, recognised valuation methods, and benchmarking against comparable businesses. The result is a detailed written report you can rely on in negotiations, financing, and planning.

A sale or acquisition is the most common trigger. Valuations are also used for business financing, restructuring, employee share and equity arrangements, and succession planning, and many owners commission one annually to track how the value of the business is moving.

Recognised methods including earnings multiples, discounted cash flow, and net asset approaches. The right method depends on the business, its earnings profile, and the purpose of the valuation, and we explain the choice and the inputs in the report.

Sustainable earnings are the starting point, adjusted for the risk attached to them. Customer concentration, reliance on the owner, the quality of systems and records, growth prospects, and what comparable businesses are trading for all shape the final figure.

APES 225 Valuation Services is the Australian professional standard issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board. It governs how a valuation engagement is scoped, performed, and reported, and it sets requirements around independence and disclosure.

Our reports are prepared to be read and tested by others. Tell us the purpose at the outset so the scope, the method, and the level of reporting match what the recipient will expect.
