Why This Practice Exists
A Hunter owner who needs a business value has usually faced a gap. Signed reports from the large national firms are priced with listed companies in mind, while a broker's estimate or an online figure rarely survives a pointed question from a lender, the ATO or a solicitor acting for the other side. For a family company whose figure has to satisfy someone else, there has been little in between.
Newcastle Business Valuations works in that gap: recognised credentials and a complete method, at a fee that makes sense for a fabrication shop in Beresfield, a vineyard business in Pokolbin or an engineering consultancy in the Newcastle CBD. Family-owned trades and regional professional firms make up much of our work, so succession comes up often: a value that lets ownership pass to the next generation, to managers or to a buyer from outside the region on terms everyone can follow.
The matter might be a sale, a restructure, a question from Revenue NSW or the ATO, or proceedings in the Supreme Court of New South Wales or the Federal Circuit and Family Court. Either way the report is independent and signed, and we defend it if it is tested.
The valuer who checks your report is the valuer who signs it, and that person will walk you, a judge or the other side's expert through each assumption. We do not outsource any part of the work, and no step in the method is dropped to save time.
