The price of a business valuation in Australia can vary significantly depending on factors such as the purpose of the valuation and the firm providing the service. Let’s examine the various types of valuations available and their associated costs, shall we?

When it comes to business valuations, there are different options to consider. Starting with the most affordable, we have valuation calculations, or ‘appraisals’. These calculations serve basic purposes and are offered at a competitive price. But beware, anyone can provide this as a service, and they do not need to comply with the Australian Professional and Ethical Standard APES 225 – Valuation Services. You can secure an appraisal from a few hundred dollars to over $1,000 for a small business, depending upon who you engage. But a word to the wise – make sure they are qualified and reliable. BVO provides this service for $900 plus GST, and they are performed using many of the same metrics and analysis as our more advanced reports.

Moving up the scale, we have full and limited scope valuations. These valuations are well-suited for complex scenarios like restructuring, sales and purchases, and tax requirements. The pricing for these valuations may vary based on the specific needs and intricacies involved. These services usually start at more than $3,000 plus GST to well over $10,000 plus GST.

For those seeking a more comprehensive assessment, Business Valuations Online (BVO) provides limited scope valuations at a fixed fee of $3,000 plus GST. As part of our service, we also offer a business valuation forecast dashboard. This unique tool enables business owners to easily recalculate their valuation by making hypothetical changes to key business factors, such as income forecasts, operational costs, and risk analysis.

In certain cases, such as litigation for commercial or family law matters, court-based valuations become necessary. These valuations must adhere to the expert code of conduct and carry substantial weight in legal proceedings. The are often referred to as an “Independent Expert Valuation Report”. However, due to their intricate nature, court-based valuations typically start at a minimum of $5,000 plus GST and can surpass $100,000, depending on the complexity of the situation.
