Business Valuations Melbourne values businesses across Footscray, Sunshine, Altona, Laverton North, Derrimut, Truganina and Werribee, including transport and logistics operators, warehousing, manufacturers, trades and hospitality.

Our office is at 55 Collins Street, and most engagements run on documents and a call, so there is no travel charge to the west.
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.
Industrial land in the west is often held by the same family group that runs the business. The SRO says landholder duty may apply when an interest is acquired in a company or unit trust holding Victorian land valued at $1 million or more, and the commercial and industrial property tax reform applies to qualifying properties after an entry transaction on or after 1 July 2024. Both can shape how a deal is structured; the position is for your lawyer, accountant or the SRO.
What shapes a valuation in Western Melbourne.
Logistics and warehousing in Laverton North, Derrimut and Truganina.
Laverton North, Derrimut and Truganina are logistics and warehousing areas. Transport and third-party logistics businesses here often depend on a few large customers and on contracts that can be ended on short notice. We look at contract terms, revenue by customer, how long relationships have lasted and how much margin is left after fuel, wages and fleet costs.
Fleet and equipment are valued for what it costs to keep them running.
Trucks, forklifts and racking wear out and must be replaced. A profit figure that does not allow for that overstates what the business earns. We look at the age of the fleet, finance and lease commitments, and the spending needed to maintain it, and where equipment is a large share of value we use a plant and equipment valuation for that part.
Owned yards and warehouses are kept separate from the business.
Where the yard or warehouse is owned inside the group, we value the business on a market rent and a property valuer values the land. If shares or units in a land-holding company or unit trust are sold, the SRO says landholder duty may apply where that land is valued at $1 million or more. The commercial and industrial property tax reform can also change holding costs for a qualifying property. Your lawyer, accountant or the SRO confirms where you stand.
Footscray and Sunshine businesses are valued on local trade and lease security.
Closer in, Footscray and Sunshine have busy food, retail and service strips. For these businesses we look at the lease, owner hours, the mix of regular and passing trade, and whether the business would keep its customers under a new owner.
Fast growing suburbs need care with recent growth.
Werribee, Truganina and the surrounding suburbs have grown quickly. A business that has grown with new housing may keep growing, or may face new competitors as the area fills in. We value maintainable earnings, and only build in growth where the records support it.

Western Melbourne questions we get asked.
How much does a business valuation cost in the western suburbs?
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.
How do you value a transport or logistics business?
On earnings after a realistic allowance for replacing trucks and equipment, with a multiple that reflects how secure the customer contracts are and how concentrated revenue is. Where the fleet is a large part of value, it is valued separately and the report explains how the two fit together.
We own our warehouse in Derrimut. What happens to it in the valuation?
We value the business as if it paid a market rent, and a property valuer values the warehouse. If the warehouse is in the same company or trust as the business and the shares or units change hands, landholder duty may need to be considered, which your lawyer, accountant or the SRO confirms.
Most of our work comes from one big customer. Is that a problem?
It lowers value, because a buyer sees the risk of losing that account. A long contract, a long history and high switching costs reduce the discount. We set out how we have treated it so you can see the effect.
Do you charge to travel to the west?
No. There is no travel charge anywhere in Greater Melbourne. Most engagements run on documents and a call from our office at 55 Collins Street.
