# Valuing Sydney businesses, industry by industry.

Two businesses with the same profit can be worth very different amounts. What a buyer is really paying for differs by trade: a licence, a lease, a client list, recurring contracts, the people. Each page below says what a valuer looks at in one industry, and which New South Wales licences or approvals come into it.

## Choose an industry.

- [Professional firms](https://businessvaluationssydney.com.au/industries/professional-services-firms/) For partners and owners of law, accounting, engineering, consulting and financial advice practices who are admitting a partner, buying one out, merging or selling.
- [Hospitality](https://businessvaluationssydney.com.au/industries/hospitality/) For owners, buyers and their advisers who need a value for a cafe, restaurant, bar or pub, lease and liquor licence included.
- [Technology and software](https://businessvaluationssydney.com.au/industries/technology-and-software/) For founders, shareholders and advisers of an established software or IT business facing a sale, a buyout, a share issue or a tax event.
- [Childcare centres](https://businessvaluationssydney.com.au/industries/childcare-centres/) When a long day care centre, or a group of them, is being sold, bought into, restructured or divided between its owners.
- [Retail and online](https://businessvaluationssydney.com.au/industries/retail-and-online/) When a shop, a group of stores or an online seller is changing hands, taking on a partner or being restructured.
- [Transport and wholesale](https://businessvaluationssydney.com.au/industries/transport-and-wholesale/) When a freight, logistics, import or distribution business is being sold, handed to the next generation, restructured or split between its owners.

## If your industry is not here.

The industries above are the ones with a page of their own, not the limit of what we value. The method is the same for any trading business: work out what it reliably earns, look at what the market pays for earnings like those, and adjust for the things that make this business safer or riskier than the usual one.

Tell us the industry when you ask for your fee, and a valuer will say what the report would cover.

## Tell us about the business.

A few lines is enough. A valuer replies within one business day with the package that fits, your fixed fee in writing and a delivery date.

Small Business Valuation

$1,495 + GST

The package for turnover below $2 million: a signed report in 2 business days. Delivery time starts once payment and all required information have been received.

Larger than that? The fee steps up with turnover. [See every fee](https://businessvaluationssydney.com.au/fees/)
