When do need business valuations in Australia?

More established companies would have some experience in the valuation process and would be more than familiar with their importance. For new businesses or entities that have escaped needing a valuation up till now, here are a few examples of when you may need to have a professional business valuation:

• You’re considering selling your company
• You’re thinking about retiring and want to plan for doing so
• You’re planning how to divide your estate
• You want to develop a business plan to improve profitability and increase the value
• You’re selling the entity and have received an offer and want to defend the price you’ve set

This is only but a handful of scenarios for when you may consider hiring a business valuator.

What can our valuations be used for?

As a business appraisal company catering to businesses of all shapes and sizes, we offer a varied selection of business valuation services. Each service is specific to the purpose of valuation. Businesses may require an appraisal for any of the following purposes:

• Family Law Court proceedings
• Pre-purchase/Pre-sale
• Litigation
• Taxation
• Loans and Financing
• Succession planning
• Financial planning
• Future/Succession planning

There is seemingly an endless list of reasons businesses may order their valuations. Owners can expect a custom-made report that can be a valuable resource for more than just the original intended purpose.

What sort of information is included in a valuation?

Any sort of valuation of businesses will include a variety of crucial information. It will of course depend on the type of company you own, the purpose of the valuation and what you hope to achieve from having your company valued. Regardless of your reason for the report, a valuer will have to examine many aspects of your business including:

• The accounts
• The industry it operates in
• The current economic conditions
• The fixed assets including equipment and real estate
• The cost of replacing all plant & equipment

Intangible assets will also be taken into consideration including the company’s brand, reputation, goodwill, location (or locations) and intellectual property.

How to prepare for a business valuation

For a more accurate business valuation, you should prepare information for our valuers including:

• Accounting records and bank statements
• Loan contracts
• Up-to-date tax returns
• Financial forecasts
• Debts
• Profit and loss statements
• Physical assets such as equipment, stock, and real estate
• Legal information such as licences, business registration details and any other information required for compliance reasons

Preparing this information for West Coast Valuers before they begin their valuation will make for a much smoother process and ensure a more in-depth and reliable report.
