Business Valuations

What's your business actually worth?

Let's find out - properly

Sooner or later, most owners need a real number. Not a gut feel, not a back-of-the-envelope guess, but a defensible, evidence-based valuation you can stand behind when it matters. That's work we love - and work we're qualified to do to the highest professional standard.

We offer valuations at two levels, so you only pay for the depth you actually need

Desktop valuations. A faster, cost-effective indicative valuation based on the financial information you provide. Perfect when you want a well-reasoned estimate of value to guide a decision, start a conversation, or test the waters without the full formal engagement.

Full AES 2 valuations. A comprehensive, formal business valuation prepared to AES 2 - Accounting Engagement Standard Number 2, as issued by Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ). This is the rigorous, independent, fully documented report you'll want when the number has to hold up - to a court, a buyer, a bank, the IRD, or the other side of the table.

Why owners come to us for a valuation

Selling the business. Know your number before you go to market, so you negotiate from strength and don't leave money on the table.

Buying a business. Make sure the asking price stacks up before you commit.

Matrimonial and relationship property settlements. An independent, standards-based valuation that stands up to scrutiny when a relationship ends and the business is part of the pool.

Introducing or exiting partners and shareholders. Bring someone in - or buy someone out - on a fair, clearly evidenced value that keeps the relationship intact.

Succession and estate planning. Plan the handover to family or the next generation with a clear, current picture of what's changing hands.

Shareholder disputes. When people disagree about worth, an independent expert valuation is often the fastest way to a fair resolution.

Raising finance. Give your bank or investors the robust numbers they need to back you.

Buy-sell agreements and insurance. Set the right cover and the right triggers, based on real value rather than a figure plucked from the air.

Tax and restructuring. Support a restructure, share transfer or reorganisation with a valuation that satisfies the IRD and your advisers.

Simple peace of mind. Sometimes you just want to know. Your business is likely your biggest asset -it pays to know what it's worth.

Whatever the reason, we'll help you choose the right level of valuation for the job, explain the numbers in plain English, and give you something you can genuinely rely on.

Bee-lieve in the opportunity - but back it with a plan
