Melbourne Business Valuation, Industry by Industry

Twenty sector guides written for Melbourne owners: the approach that leads in your industry, the adjustments that move the number, and what the local market adds.

Every Melbourne business valuation draws on the same three approaches, income, market and asset, and the industry decides which one leads. Practices and firms with dependable recurring earnings are income-led, sectors with a visible sale market such as childcare and hospitality are market-led, and plant-heavy operators such as transport and manufacturing are asset-led.

Twenty Melbourne industries, sorted by sector

Open a sector to see its industries, each marked with the approach that usually leads. The method is common to all of them. What changes is how it is applied, which adjustments matter and what the Melbourne evidence shows.

Finding the right industry guide

Follow the economics rather than the industry label. Where the earnings recur reliably, the income approach usually leads; where there is an active and observable market for businesses like yours, the market approach leads; where the value sits mainly in plant or the margins are thin, the asset approach leads. Each guide names the approach that leads in its sector and explains why, and every valuation still considers all three.
Yes. The three approaches apply to every sector, and we value businesses across Melbourne and Victoria whether or not a guide exists for them. The twenty guides cover the industries where we can say something specific and sourced about the Melbourne market. If yours is missing, the quickest route is a conversation.
Rarely. Certified reports are delivered from seven business days in every industry, and the timetable is governed by how quickly the business can produce its financial statements, leases, contracts and asset registers rather than by the sector.
An indicative valuation is for internal decision-making: testing an offer, setting an expectation before a negotiation, or deciding whether to sell at all. It is not written for third party reliance. If a lender, a court, the ATO or another expert will rely on the figure, a summary or detailed report is the right level, whatever the industry.
No. A multiple is a reference point, not a result. Two businesses in the same sector with identical revenue can be worth very different amounts once profitability, growth, customer concentration and dependence on the owner are taken into account. The valuation works out where in the range your business sits and records the reasons.
Yes. The office is on Spencer Street in the Melbourne CBD and the market content in these guides is written for Greater Melbourne, but engagements run across regional Victoria, including the Mornington Peninsula, Ballarat, Bendigo and the Latrobe Valley, and Australia-wide, with site visits arranged where the engagement calls for them.
