Delivery time starts once payment and all required information have been received. What you receive ## A report someone else can check. A valuation is usually read by a second person: a buyer, a co-owner, an accountant, a lawyer or a revenue office. So the report does not stop at a number. It shows the path to it. - Written for the purpose you asked for, and for no other - Each figure traced to a document or to a stated assumption - Market evidence used where it exists, and its limits said where it does not [How we work](https://businessvaluationssydney.com.au/about/) Inside a valuation report - 01 Why the valuation was asked for, and the valuation date - 02 Exactly what is valued: the business, the shares or the units - 03 The business, its owners and its market - 04 The financial results, and the adjustments made to them - 05 The method chosen and the evidence behind it - 06 The value and the range around it - 07 Assumptions, limits and what could not be verified - 08 The declaration and signature of the valuer How a value is reached ## The evidence comes first. The number comes last. We read the accounts, work out what makes this business different from others like it, and look at what the market shows. Only then do we settle on a value. - What it earns The profit the business can keep making once one-off items and the owner’s own arrangements are adjusted out. - What buyers pay Prices and multiples from sales of comparable businesses, wherever reliable evidence can be found. - A method that fits Picked for this business and this purpose, with the reasons for the choice set down. - No side taken The conclusion goes where the evidence goes, whoever is paying for the report. - Open to testing Every step is on the page, so a reader can accept the value or challenge it.

[More questions, answered](https://businessvaluationssydney.com.au/questions/) How much does a business valuation cost in Sydney? The fee depends on one thing, the annual turnover of the business: under $2 million, $1,495 + GST; $2 million to $3 million, $2,495 + GST; $3 million to $10 million, $3,495 + GST. Above $10 million we give you a written quote first. There is no hourly rate. Two extras can apply and both are agreed at the start: $495 for each past valuation date and $795 for each further entity. How long does it take? A small business report (turnover below $2 million) is signed in 2 business days. From $2 million to $10 million it is 3 business days. Above $10 million we agree the delivery date with you before starting. Delivery time starts once payment and all required information have been received. On the first call we tell you exactly what that information is. Who prepares and signs the report? The valuer responsible for your job prepares and signs it, and a second, suitably qualified business valuer reviews it before it is issued. Your engagement letter names the signing valuer before any work starts, and the report carries the same name. Our valuers have prepared business valuations since 2014. Can you work towards a figure I already have in mind? No. We work out the range the evidence supports and conclude within it. If the evidence supports your figure, the report will say so. If it does not, the report will say that instead. Your fee is the same either way, because it was fixed before anyone knew the answer. What does the fixed fee assume? One trading entity, financial statements prepared by an accountant for at least the last three years, a clear purpose and no dispute already running about the value. If the job turns out to be different, for example a second entity comes to light, we stop, send you a revised fixed fee in writing, and you decide whether to go on. Can my accountant or lawyer deal with you directly? Yes. Many valuations are asked for by an accountant or lawyer on behalf of a client. They can brief us, receive the report and put questions to the valuer. We give no tax, duty or legal advice ourselves, so their advice and our valuation sit side by side. Do you only value businesses in Sydney? No. Our office is in the Sydney CBD and we value businesses anywhere in New South Wales, from Newcastle and the Central Coast to Wollongong and the regions. The work is done from financial records and a conversation with the people who run the business, so the fee and the timing are the same wherever it trades. Do you prepare valuations for family law? Valuations for separation and family law proceedings are prepared by our dedicated family law practice, Family Law Valuations, at familylawvaluation.com.au.
