Business Valuation
The Analyst gives a business owner the number they most want: an indicative valuation as a range, with the handful of things that actually move it. Not a guess dressed up as a single figure.
The Question
"What's my business worth?" sits behind most of the big decisions: whether to sell, to raise, to bring in a partner, or simply to keep going. The Analyst answers it properly, grounded in the numbers and the shape of the business, so you can lead that conversation instead of deferring it.
The Method
A low, a most likely, and a high. A single figure is a guess wearing a suit; the range carries the uncertainty honestly, so nobody mistakes precision for confidence.
Service firms are valued on revenue, product and trading businesses on earnings. We use the basis buyers actually use in your sector, not one blunt formula applied to everyone.
Growth, how much the business leans on the owner, how much revenue recurs, margin and scale. We show which levers lift the number and which hold it down.
Strategy Meets Value
The valuation is not a full stop. The Analyst connects it to strategy, showing the projected effect on enterprise value as the recommendations are put into practice. The conversation moves from "what's it worth today" to "what's it worth if we do this".
That is the deliverable that elevates the conversation from operational to strategic, and turns a good advisor into an indispensable one.
Before the Big Decision
Owners weigh offers, raises and buy-ins on instinct, because they can rarely test the call before they commit to it. An indicative valuation, with the downside modelled, lets you see the decision before you make it, and walk away from the one you would have regretted.
Australia · 1 July 2027
Australia's capital gains tax rules change on 1 July 2027, and gains are split by when they accrue. To protect the value built up under today's rules, you need a defensible market valuation of your assets, your business included, as at that date. Without one, there is no clean line between the gains taxed the old way and the new.
The Analyst helps you and your clients get valuation-ready well ahead of the deadline: a clear, current view of what the business is worth, and the plan to act before the date. Formal valuations for tax remain a job for a qualified valuer.
