Why Melbourne Owners Choose a Local Certified Valuer

What you get from a certified valuer based on Spencer Street rather than a template report

Certified Business Valuers in Melbourne, VIC

A valuer who knows the Melbourne comparable market, the State Revenue Office's duty and payroll tax positions and what the Victorian courts expect of expert evidence, and who is available to meet.

From A$799, With Certified Reports From Seven Business Days

Clear pricing and a defined process. Certified Summary and Detailed reports are delivered from seven business days once your information is in.

Certified & Signed by a Named Valuer

Every report carries the signature of a credentialed certified valuer and is accepted by the ATO, ASIC, the courts and Australian lenders.

The Right Report for a Sale, the ATO, Financial Reporting & SMSF Loans

One of the three report types fits each purpose, and we tell you which one on the first call rather than selling you the deepest.

Understand How the Number Was Reached

The closing call walks you through the approaches, the adjustments and the reconciliation, so you can explain the conclusion to anyone who asks.

ATO and State Revenue Office Compliant

Prepared under APES 225 and the ATO's market valuation guidelines, and written to withstand review by the ATO, the State Revenue Office Victoria and an auditor.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions for a Business Valuation

An independent, reasoned opinion of what a business or shareholding is worth at a set date, built from the income, market and asset approaches and reconciled into a defensible conclusion.
Yes if the report will be tested: by a court, the ATO, the State Revenue Office, a lender or another expert. For a private planning figure an Indicative report is enough; it is for internal decision-making and is not a certified opinion for third parties.
Frequently, when the report is obtained for an income-producing purpose or as part of a CGT event. Your tax adviser confirms the treatment for your situation.
Choose a Summary report for sales, partner buy-ins, employee share schemes, financing and SMSF audits, where the figure is shown to others but is unlikely to be litigated.
Software can run a formula; it cannot exercise judgement about normalisation, risk or comparable evidence, and no lender or court accepts an unsigned output. Our reports are prepared by a person and signed by a certified valuer.
The report supports the decision that prompted it: pricing a sale, settling a dispute, satisfying the ATO or the State Revenue Office, meeting an auditor's requirement, or setting terms with a partner or investor.
APES 225 Valuation Services is the primary Australian standard. The International Valuation Standards apply where cross-border comparability is needed, and the ATO's market valuation guidelines govern tax matters.
The signing valuer holds the CFA, ABV and CBV designations and has more than 15 years of valuation, transaction and expert witness experience. Every report is signed by a certified valuer.
A signed opinion prepared under APES 225 by a credentialed valuer, with the purpose, the evidence, the adjustments and the reasoning set out so it can be relied on in court, by the ATO, by a lender or in a transaction.
Our primary office is in the Melbourne CBD on Spencer Street. We service all of Greater Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula, the Yarra Valley, Ballarat, Bendigo and regional Victoria, and conduct engagements Australia-wide.
