Business Valuations Melbourne values businesses from St Kilda and Elwood down through Brighton, Sandringham, Cheltenham and Mentone, including venues, health practices, trades, retailers and family companies. Reports support sales, buyouts, restructures, succession and CGT events. The fee is fixed by turnover, from $1,495 + GST. Most engagements run on documents and a call from our office at 55 Collins Street, with no travel charge.
We value businesses, not real property. Land, premises or a dwelling are valued by a property valuer in Victoria. Where an engagement involves both, we value the business and keep the land separate for the property valuer.
Victorian rules that can touch the valuation.
Bayside owners often hold their shop or workshop through a family company or trust. Where an interest in a company or unit trust holding Victorian land valued at $1 million or more changes hands, the SRO says landholder duty may apply. We value the business and keep the land separate for a property valuer; the duty position is a matter for your lawyer, accountant or the SRO.
What shapes a valuation in Bayside Melbourne.
St Kilda and Elwood venues trade on the season and the weather.
Venues near the foreshore and on Acland and Fitzroy Streets can have strong summers and quieter winters. One good season is not maintainable earnings. We look at at least a full year, and ideally several, so the valuation reflects a typical year rather than a peak.
Village strip businesses carry a lot of owner goodwill.
Church Street in Brighton, Bay Road in Sandringham and the Cheltenham and Mentone shopping strips are home to long-running family businesses. Customers often know the owner by name. We test how much trade depends on that relationship and whether it would pass to a new owner, and adjust the multiple for it.
Trade and service businesses near Cheltenham and Moorabbin need contracts checked.
The southern end of Bayside runs into light industrial land around Cheltenham and Moorabbin, where many trade and service firms are based. For these businesses we look at who the customers are, how much revenue comes from the top few, whether work is contracted or job by job, and the condition and age of vehicles and equipment.
Childcare and health practices are valued on occupancy and practitioners.
Childcare centres are valued on occupancy, fees, staffing and the lease, while health practices turn on revenue by practitioner and patient retention. In both cases the lease term matters, because the business usually cannot move without losing families or patients.
Related-party sales need an independent figure.
Selling the business to a child, a manager or a family entity is a common path for Bayside owners. The ATO lists transfers between related parties among the dealings that may need a market valuation, and says the valuation must be objective and supported by evidence. A signed, independent report gives your accountant and lawyer a number they can rely on.

Bayside Melbourne questions we get asked.
How much does a business valuation cost in Bayside?
The fee is fixed and set by annual turnover, the same in every area. A Small Business Valuation is $1,495 + GST for turnover under $2 million, delivered in 2 business days. A Medium Business Valuation is $2,495 + GST for turnover of $2 million to $3 million, and a Large Business Valuation is $3,495 + GST for turnover of $3 million to $10 million, both delivered in 3 business days. Above $10 million the fee is quoted and the delivery date is agreed before commencement. Delivery time starts once payment and all required information have been received. Everyone pays the same, with no referral discounts. There is no travel charge anywhere in Greater Melbourne.
Our venue has a big summer. How do you allow for that?
We value on maintainable earnings across a full cycle, not a single strong season. Where trading history is short or a year was unusual, we adjust for it and explain the adjustment in the report.
Do you value childcare centres?
Yes. The main drivers are occupancy, fee levels, staffing costs against ratios, and the lease. A centre with a long lease and steady occupancy is valued very differently from one with a short lease or falling enrolments.
Do you come to the business?
Usually not. Most engagements run on documents and a call, which keeps the fee fixed. Where equipment or stock is a large part of the value, we will raise it at the start and agree how to handle it.
